Soft & Dreamy
We don’t get things that look soft and dreamy, so I had ignored this assignment until the day before yesterday. When we get rain, we often get lots of rain. I was in the hay barn and got this shot before we got the emergency backhoe working and did some ditch digging to protect the… Continue reading

Blue & White
This is a lovely Colorado sky, bright blue and full of fluffy clouds. Summer is here. We didn’t have any spring – we went straight from winter to summer. Prompt: Using contrast in your photography can give you very artistic shots. Make a color photo with high contrast today. Continue reading

Garvin Mesa Rainbow
I tried several things for my daily shoot today. Mud (it’s been raining), cat fur, and then, the sun finally peeked out, and I got this shot. This is off our front porch. Prompt: Make a photo that you think would work well as computer wallpaper, and try it out for a week! (@padlockd) Continue reading

As things stand, we’re feeding out a lot more hay on pasture to make sure the sheep stay warm. Even the dandelions are confused by this weather. By late afternoon, it had fortunately started… Continue reading

Major Spring Snowstorm
Today, we got a major snowstorm. We put the ewe and her twins in a jug with a dog house to protect the little ones. We had another lamb today, too – one ewe lamb. She and her mom got the same treatment. I hope no more ewes lamb for a while. We’re supposed to… Continue reading

First Lamb of 2010!
It’s a good thing we burned brush earlier. Today, the wind is blowing hard, with gusts up to 52 miles per hour. There’s a lot of dust in the air, and it certainly would have been too windy for a fire. Of course, one of the ewes decided this was a good time to go… Continue reading
