Farewell 07--PICs

[EmptyPockets]

Saw all the nice pics everyone has posted lately and thought I'd share a few. After tonight they'll be last years oldies. Hope there aren't too many.

Awoke this morning and was treated to some pink
Could be a good day I was starting to think.

A world of white and a spot of blue,
Looks so pretty when the sun breaks thru!

A spruce tree with cones a holiday sight,
Only three colors... green, brown and white.

Winter headquarters in a valley is swell,
But come August it gets hotter'n .........Philip?

[/img]

A doe and two fawns surrounded by white,
They stay by the creek, they'll be all right.

Coming in for dinner a little before noon,
Over his shoulder a bit of a moon.

[/img]

Some turkeys nervously watching me as I click a shot,
Hopin they don't end up in my defat-fry pot!

Calves a grazing as the short day ends
Makes me wonder what the next year sends.

[/img]

Frost on the trees, grass and all around,
Soon as it warms up we'll be back to brown.

As we are ready to launch into a brand new year.
May all you at Ranchers.net be blessed with many a good cheer! :wink:

Happy New Years!

Nice photos and rhyme Empty Pockets!

Psst...this week's photo contest is wildlife. Both dead and alive versions, I think...I bet you'd have an appropriate photo or two!

What happened to the sheep pictures? I miss seeing the little wooly boogers!

Happy New Year to you and yours...

Well done, EP.

I really enjoyed the pictures and the poem.

There is a fellow in Montana that has become rather famous for this type of thing. He has 3 or 4 books out that is photo and verse. His name is Mike Logan, and I think you can find him at www.rangewriter.org/mikelogan.htm

I didn't realize he was AWA Cowboy Poet of the Year!!

I think you will find his website very interesting. I am fortunate to know Mike and his work is terrific. He was a Spanish teacher in Helena and he has a slide show presentation where he uses the photography and the poem. He has a very rich voice and it is a great way to spend the evening. Plus, he tells interesting stories about some of the photos as he was shooting them pictures.

He has a great photo called "The Referee" that shows a bull elk in the timber watching 2 mule deer in a fight with their horns interlocked.

Anyway, EP, I what you posted here reminded me of Mike Logan and his work. Very nice job you did!!
