We were discussing Montana's attitude toward rainfall in contrast to Pennsylvania's, my home state.
Montana likes to tease. While we tenants here below gaze skyward, yearning for some of its hoped-for annual precip of 15 inches, we are treated to scenery. Montana weather tends to be a dilettante, dabbling, presenting a "no-show" nonchalance, more display than substance. Rather than making itself "Useful as well as Ornamental," it quits at "ornamental."
To be sure, Montana can produce dazzling, kaleidoscopic shades of gray or overcast horizons such as the image above.
In contrast, when Pennsylvania says "rain," it means it. It will rain. Often. And long. Or hard. Or both.
The scene is from our Livestock and Landscape collection, entitled Clouds & Cattle, 2.
