Exploring the World – One Image at a Time

Farm work

PWP week of Aug 27 – Sept 2 23

September has arrived. And it’s a warm. Combining is in full swing. A couple days of rest was has we had some rain. I’ve posted shots of the young hawk that has been sitting on the fence post. Then it move to the road and wouldn’t move when a car passed. It hadn’t been seen for sometime and I feared the worst but I finally saw him sitting in the field. I waited and then it flew away and I knew it would be fine. One of the pet stores I shop at has their Halloween costumes for pets out on display already. Some are cute. I don’t think my two would appreciate being dressed up. I stopped by the Water Fowl Park in the city one morning. City Canada geese are sure loud, aggressive and bossy. There were a few ducks but mostly geese. The pelicans were smart enough not to hang around the park. Chase has discovered looking out the upstairs bedroom window gives him a bird’s eye view. Got a few action shots of him. Of course! On one of the smoky days, there’s been quite a few, I caught a crop duster plane out desiccating fields. He comes in pretty low. Not sure what the trucker thought. As you will see, our house is prepared for the cold season. Hope you get out and enjoy the long weekend.

PWP week of Aug 13 – Aug 19 23

Another week in the books or photo album. No great features. Created an “on black” shot of Chase. He lays with his head on a paw and always looks so pensive. The route we take for our morning drive goes past the buffalo pasture so they are always reedy models. By the corner where we turn to come home there has been a young hawk for the past few days It’s not to sure about flying away from it’s perch and having me there drives mom crazy. She is in the air above me screaming. The last trip the youngster did move from one fence post to another. Saw an unrelated hawk on our drive one morning. More hummingbird shots. Some were taken with my phone thru the window. The purple wedding decorations were in a store I visited. Wonder if purple if THE color this year! One morning Chase tracked down a little muskrat. Removed Chase from the scene; caught the muskrat and carried it to the dugout and watched the little guy swim away. That was enough excitement at 6:30 in the morning for one day. More dog shots. Hope you enjoy this weeks contribution. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP Week of July 16 – July 22 23

I apologize for the lateness of this post. There was a pasture fence to be mended and it was in worse shape then anticipated. Horses are safe and I won’t be spending time running them down. Hope you had a good week. Mine was decent. Weather starting heating up close to the weekend. Will be sticking close to the house today. On the menu this week we have dogs, skies, and sunflowers. It is haying season in my part of the country and we have some shots of that. A neighbors cow was close the morning I saw the deer in our pasture. The swallows are availing themselves of the dogs water. That’s it for this week. Enjoy.
