Like I mentioned yesterday… I had a few adventures on my walk. After communing with our new bulls for a bit (and exposing my new camera to its first taste of hay dust!), the dogs and I proceeded down to the water gap. This camera has the cool feature where you can choose one color……

Shopping In Wyoming
I’m guessing here… but the possibility exists that some of you readers out there in Blogland LOVE to shop. Do you hit the malls or boutiques for dresses and shoes? Are you a bargain hunter or eBay surfer or Etsy aficionada? Do you shop on your lunch hour or weekends? The possibility that someone might…
Minute Movie – “Dragonflies”
Well, Monday Movies has transformed into Minute Movies… Why limit myself to Mondays?? I *loved* everyone’s ideas for topics for the movies… and peaceful natural settings seemed to be at the top of the list. While this one doesn’t show the scenery or the distances of Wyoming, this closeup experience of a mountain pond casts…
Hunting Dragons
You many not have noticed, but in the last picture from yesterday’s post, there was an unusual object in the bottom center… Sailing over the water in flamboyant stripes… A dragonfly. It was pure luck in the capture, but it made that photo extra special! That entire pond was humming with activity from at least…
A Mighty Voice

Bring A Promise
As grey as yesterday was… hovering over our miserable-ness like buzzards… today was a gorgeous brilliant Wyoming day! Sunshine. Warmth. Red rocks and sagebrush alike washed by yesterday’s rain/snow mix into gleaming versions of their usual dusty selves. I waited on Johnny’s arrival… sauntered to the creek’s edge and closed my eyes. Robin to my…
Almost
Because it’s late… Because I stayed up playing pool and visiting with my family… Because I have to get up early in the morning… I simply MUST leave you with just this one photo. My *almost* capture of a bald eagle… **** March 14, 2010 Bottle Baby March 14, 2009 Ten Days and…
Wordless Wednesday – “Dirty Bird/Dirty Look”
Pinyon Jays are the bane of my bird feeder… I try to feed the small songbirds… but the large Pinyon Jays can clean out my feeder in minutes! My pitiful attempts to thwart their thievery have failed… dirty birds… I don’t think he likes me either! **** January 26, 2010 No entry. January 26,…
Snake – The Video
I’m very happy so many of you enjoyed the story of Snake from yesterday. I’m also glad I wasn’t the only one who could remember the Shake ‘N’ Bake commercial from way back when where the little girl says in a cute southern accent, “and ah heoppt!” Ali and Vince, it is illegal to have…
The Story
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…
