On the cover: “Autumn on the Gallatin” by Tim Leonhardt. As Director of Product at
Schedulicity.com, Tim works with bright, creative people every day. He expresses his own
creativity through his photography, and counts himself blessed to be living and working in the
Gallatin Valley. He captured this fall photo of the Gallatin from River Road last autumn. “I love
the light we get in the fall - glorious sunsets, changing colors. Fall is my favorite time to shoot
photography.”
