The morning's catch

[Soapweed]

Tallest windmill on the place, eight foot wheel, 30-foot plus tower, seven joints deep

Spearhead heifer calves

Sandy Simmental silhouette

Sally was a good old girl

Replacement heifers

Red heifer calves and mommas

Lots of water

Heifer calves and their mothers

Egrets and yearling heifers

Contented Cattle

Cedars and Sunflowers

Cattle and birds are compatible

Birds basking out of the breeze

A pretty good gate--it kept out most of the Sunflowers

Handy gate lever and short piece of chain on top wire, for carrying the gate around while on a horse

Some one told me that what a sandpoint was a device that could be driven in like a big post and you could draw water from it. How close to right is that?

PS We can't quite do that around here. sometimes a steel fence post can be nearly impossible to drive.

Am enjoying your photo diaries......it's always interesting to see ranchlife in different locales! You always seem to have good quality shot's.....what type of camera and what features seem to work best for you? Looking forward to more of the Sandhills. Take care!

It's a little Sony Cyber-shot 5.1 megapixels, smaller than a pack of cigarettes. Since I don't smoke, my pocket has room for this little camera. If the truth were known, I probably kill a lot more time taking pictures than I would if I just smoked. :? :???:

Nothin wrong with killin time takin pics. And these new little digital cameras is somethin else..I just love mine.

Soap also has an artistic eye when it comes to framing the shots. To my way of thinking the quality of the shot is more in what's behind the camera than what's in front of the camera.

I think I echo every one when I say thanks for the view of pure splender - - - I'm sure most of the time you feel the same way - - - it is easy to tell you love your work.
