PWP week of Aug 20 – Aug 26 23

Late again, I apologize. It was National/International, I saw it as both, Dog day so I was working on a good shot of the kids. I ended up using one I’d taken with my phone awhile ago. However, you get to see a few of the practice shots. Chase is turning into quite the model. Close to home there is a field of buffalo, I’m sure you have figured that out by now. The bull was close to the fence on one of our drives and he is BIG. I don’t understand why the tourists in Yellowstone want to get near them. The buffalo are scary. So are the tourists. There must be a colony or gathering of Mourning Doves along our route, as there are always a lot of they flying around. I did manage to get some on the fence as you will see. Road trip, road trip. Went for a Sunday drive with friends and ended up a flea market. Lots of goodies. If you ever come upon Fuller Moon Walker bath salts and like baths. Buy some, they are wonderful. That’s it for this week. Enjoy. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM. Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery.


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 Aug 6 – Aug 12 23

This week was this Photographers dream week. Remember I talked about feast and famine? Well this was definitely a feast week. I attended a day of gymkhana and got shots of the stars of the arena. A few contestants also. The crops are turning fast and I love the variants in color. We have buffalo living close and we visited them a couple of times. Chase wasn’t impressed. We found a few bushes of buffalso berries. They make great jelly for pork! The hawk you will see is a very upset mother as her child just sat on a fence post as I approached. She was not impressed. One morning on our mini tour we saw a mule deer doe and her youngster. On the creek near home there is a congregation of pelicans and a couple of herons. Hope you enjoy this weeks offering as much as we enjoyed finding the shots. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.
