Throwback Thursday: Shooting Star Gallery, v.2.0
This was first published June 15, 2015. Mountain Pasture: While yellow flowers dominated the lower elevations, the top of the mountain was championed by shooting stars… first, lining the edges of buffalo trails, then in shy portrait… followed by eye popping vivid setting, and lastly, pink petals in black and white.
Wordless Wednesday: Tiny Home
A house wren has built her tiny home outside my bedroom window. Enjoy this jigsaw puzzle HERE.
Notion
Don’t ask me what I’m going to do with it. A pin? A necklace? A sun catcher in my window? I don’t have the foggiest notion…

This was first posted June 5, 2015. Cowboys get all the attention… Good looking, talented guys on horseback… the Quintessential Romantic Cowboy. But at brandings, there are some unsung heroes… the Vaccinators! Usually, but not always, they’re girls. Not because girls can’t wrestle, Victoria and I have both put in our time holding calves, but…

Special Moment
I stopped at the last place to receive a cell phone signal and texted everyone that I had arrived… No cell towers in sight. I was on my way to my special place… me and my dogs were spending the night. I turned the corner, traveling down a little two track, and spied two elk…
Party
Happy birthday, a day early, Lacee!
