A huge congratulations to Julie Betts, sister of our very own Carol Roberts, for winning first place at the Montana Fair with her incredible photo of the baby owls that found a temporary home at our Billings office! These little owls, who cleverly hid among the pine trees near the front of our office, made quite an impact during their stay—though our office bunnies might have a different opinion! Despite that, they were an amazing addition to our FOREVER family, and Julie's photo perfectly captures their charm and the wonder they brought to our space.

Julie’s passion for nature truly shines through in her work. As she beautifully puts it, "My favorite escape is spending an enormous amount of time in nature. Whether traveling the country roads or floating the Yellowstone River, I am in constant awe, observing nature revealing her stories. Take time to appreciate beauty. Whether large and airborne or small and earthbound, beauty observed in our little corner of the world is ours to cherish. Thank you for your interest and support. Both mean the world to me. With gratitude for all the beauty in our world." We are so proud of Julie for this well-deserved recognition and grateful that she was able to capture such a special moment in time.
