Critters

Doing what a bull does best, dig and beller

Then walking away and leaving a mess.

Calf in the pasture

Baldy and her baby boy

On the way to town, I encountered a pickup pulling a utility trailer that had a flat tire. They had a spare, but it was clear in the front of the trailer buried under a load of fireworks that these fellows had been selling over the holiday.

Giving encouragement to the guy in the hot trailer

Harrassing the poor younger brother. These boys all grew up on a neighboring ranch, even though they now live from Gordon to Atlanta. They are good time guys and do a fine job keeping everyone they are around quite entertained.

My new step siblings, the kids of my dad's new bride. They are great people, and I am proud we are now "related."

Two bunches of horses joining forces

Renewing old friendships

Galloping off into the wild blue yonder
