Every summer loons nest on the lake near my parents' home in Montana. Just before they left for the fall, my dad and I took the canoe out to try and get some photos of them. While loons are common in Montana, they are uncommonly beautiful and I was thrilled to not only be able to capture this image of one showing off, but also to capture this memory with my dad. I'm reminded of that cherished evening every time I see this photo.
