Thanks for stopping by the Big Sky Country Photos by Katie LaSalle-Lowery Fine Art America store! I'm slowing "stocking the shelves" with landscape photos from Big Sky Country - Montana (including Glacier National Park), Yellowstone National Park, and a few from the Gem State - Idaho as well as the wildlife and wild flowers of those places of natural beauty. If there is a photo that you've seen on my gallery website or on my Facebook page that you'd like to see offered here, let me know. I'm always "listening." Click on the "email Katie LaSalle-Lowery" link on the right side of the page above this text to send me a message. Happy trails!
