Last week, a friend told me a story… They live alongside a small creek dotted with stately cottonwood trees. In the wintertime, it’s not unusual to see a bald eagle perched among the bare branches. Sliding along their long snowy driveway, they noticed a bald eagle on the ground, perhaps it had a rabbit or…

Wordless Wednesday – “Now *That’s* A Story…”
“Now *that’s* a story… but you’ll have to wait… today is WORDLESS!” **** January 12, 2010 No entry. January 12, 2009 Lucas Posing
Wildlife Tour
One of the very best things about living in Wyoming is the amount of wildlife we have. Pronghorn antelope are in abundance most everywhere in the state. Although, I admit, when I first came to live in this part, there sure wasn’t as many around here as I was used to around Casper! In the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Ready to Disappear into the Willows”
A fleeting glimpse of a whitetail doe and twin fawns who are ready to disappear into the willows again… Happy Birthday to Victoria… I love you! Leave questions in the comment section… answered Sunday. ********************************************************************************** November 3, 2009 What Tomorrow Brings
Rah Rah
Last night heading home… it was easy to see that fall has hit the boxelder trees. Willow came running over to the road as I drove in… Whoa! Look at that! What ARE those things? Guess wild turkeys are still enough of a oddity around here that they warranted a close look. There were 15…
Confirmation, Please
Mr. Porcupine from Carol Greet on Vimeo. I think I have it… My camera is shooting AVCHDLite and actually transferring only *half* of the recorded time… this video should have been 1:42 not 0:51. So the little devil looks like he’s scurrying around. Wrong. Porcupines don’t scurry. There’s no need to worry when you’re covered…
Something You’ll Like
First thing this morning we headed up the hill again… this time to load the open (non-pregnant) and culled (old, lame, no-teeth) cows on the semis to send them to market. Somehow my camera never exited the Durango… So I’ll refer you here if you have the urge to see some ‘corral work’. Brandon has been…
Robins
We moved cattle to our leased Partnership pasture today. We paired them out of our Mesa pasture after gathering them. Since we weren’t taking all of them, we had to make sure we only had pairs! It took a while… we usually pair them only at the end, but we are usually taking everything in…
Tiring Days
Our big day of gathering turned into even a bigger one than expected. We had 13 hours of riding, gathering, sorting, trailing, and some waiting in there too! I am *this* close to taking my Advil and hitting the hay, but figured I’d disappoint *somebody* out there if I didn’t post! On a day like…
Cats and Dogs, Foxes and Dogs
.53 inches That’s the precipitation for the past 24 hours as of 7 am this morning. It doesn’t sound like *anything*, I know, but in Wyoming it is. It has continued to rain all day, so by morning again… perhaps another .5 is possible. That’s 1/12 of our entire precip for the year. Duck jokes,…
Small Details
On my hike the other day were many small details that made the walk more enjoyable… The tiny white phlox tucked close to the ground… The calcite streaks of the belemnites… oh, how I’d love a rock saw to cut and polish these beauties into… something… This ant hill has my favorite earth colors… with…
Wordless Wednesday – “Turkeys are easily confused”
Some local wild turkeys… confused about which way to run… uh, girls, head UNDER the fence… duh! May your turkey not escape your plate this Thanksgiving! Note: look here for information on calendar ordering and large photos…
