I have to share some puppy photos… It is something I HAVE to do… I HAVE to share the cuteness! Elsa supervises feeding time, just to make sure everyone uses their manners. The colors (colours??) of English Shepherds… at least in this litter! You ever felt like LAYING in your food – it tastes so…
Open
As the sun sets, I often switch to sepia or black and white to use the contrast. This little reservoir in the badlands gave me the perfect opportunity to play. This one turned out to be my favorite… and “Open” seemed like an appropriate title. The badlands aren’t that “bad”… as you can see in…
Spring Turnout
Thought I’d share my first OOPE video… shot out of my pocket on Saturday. The annoying sound is the camera… but just listen to the bawling of the mommas and babies! Enjoy! Spring Turnout from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Fix Fencin’
Somehow, whenever I want to talk of fixing fence, it comes out wrong. My mouth can’t ever seem to coordinate with my brain, and “fix fencin’ ” usually blurts out and makes me appear *really* stupid. Most people around me accept my fault(s) and pretend they understand what I mean. I’m grateful for that. Occasionally…
Everyday OOPE
OOPE photos from Saturday… when everyday should be like this! Johnny consults his book… making sure #452 had calved… and how old the calf was… whether we wanted to take her along or leave them behind for now. We kick the pairs across the highway… you can tell we get tons of traffic here as…
Strut Your Stuff
Well, I have OOPE photos from yesterday. I have fence fixin’ photos from today. I have wildlife photos from today. I have scenery photos from today. Rarely do I have so much to talk about and so little time and space… The morning began with Lucas and I helping Johnny kick heifer calves out…
If Everyday Was Like This…
We sorted and sent another 34 pairs out into the allotment today. A day of sunshine and barely any wind. A day of yellow bells and blue skies. A day of not too cold, not too hot… a Goldilocks day. A day when the pairs stayed paired. A good day on a good horse. What…
From Big Sis to Li’l Momma
Three weeks ago, when the puppies were born, Dally was a confused soul. She wasn’t sure what happened, but she wanted to be part of it. It earned her some whippings from Elsa. But Dally is a persistent gal and her sympathetic hormones seem to rage full bore. Each time I took photos or checked…
Lil Bro’
The magic 3 week age has hit the litter… They are quickly working on their personalities… They “bark”. They “run”. They “growl”. They “sit”. They make me use lots of “quotation marks”. If I can get an in focus shot… It is easy to come up with Photo Titles. Like today’s… “Hey, Li’l Bro’, whaddya…
Test Drive OOPE
Yesterday I spent the afternoon horseback, hunched against the Wyoming wind. That is guaranteed to make my shoulders ache, but it seems impossible for me to ride in the wind without raising my shoulders and trying to protect myself from the blasts. Luckily, the wind wasn’t the freezing cold temperature that it often is, and…
Test Drive
I went to a good friend’s house yesterday afternoon for a test drive. I’ve been on the lookout for a new horse, and he’s been helping me. My dream horse: 6 or 7 years old (the stupid has usually left by then!) Short enough I can get on…(the stirrup keeps getting harder…
Busy Day… one of many to come!
I know I’m late, but I have had a busy day… My mother and daughter left after lunch today… so we spent the morning trying to talk about everything we’ve not had a chance to cover the past two days. It always seems like such a short visit… We had to play with the puppies…
