This is a video of some hummingbirds that swarmed the feeder my sister-in-law Donna hung up outside their camper trailer while we were camping up in the Big Cimarron area of the Colorado mountains last weekend. These little guys seemed to be REALLY hungry. We sat and watched them that evening for an hour or more. Enjoy.
Shadow Box Framing
I just love these types of jobs. These are some antique “chain mail” purses a customer brought in to get framed. The colors and designs are little pieces of what appear to be baked enamel that are attached somehow to very small chain links. I think they date to the turn of the century (1900’s) or so, maybe the 1920’s. …
Makin’ the Catch
A couple of posts back I posted this photo from the Will James Ranch Rodeo I was at a couple of weeks ago. I felt that this shot would make a great watercolor. I wanted to capture the feeling of the motion, the running of the horse and the heifer, and of course the lariat sailing through the air, rather …
Sorry About That
My apologies. I left you hanging there after my last post. We did manage to escape a torrential down pour, sprinkles only. However we were treated to a spectacular light and sound show with all of the lightening and rolling thunder. We sat there in the comfort of our camp, with cold ones in hand and had a great time. No …
Torrey, UT
Here we are I’m In Torrey, Ut. It was a beautiful ride here and we managed to stay dry. In fact it was rather warm to hot in places. Things change on short notice however. As you can see, we stand to get our 40% chance of rain. We’ve been watching this storm from our campsite. A fantastic lightening show …
Just A Miss
I finally got done processing all of my photos from the Will James Roundup I was at a couple of weeks ago in Hardin, MT. I took about 400 photos and have been busy converting them all to something useable, selecting the best, cropping, enlarging, etc. After making one initial pass through the results, I have 77 photos right off …
Rainy Day Sunday
I’ve never been so wet riding in the rain with the sum shining at the same time as I got yesterday. It was crazy. Left son Glenn’s in Ranchester, WY a little after 8:00 yesterday morning and 630 miles later arrived home wet and tired, a little after 8:00 in the evening. A great riding day none-the-less. I thought this …
What a Great Day
You know, for as tough a night that I had, today turned out pretty darn good. I got some outstanding photographs of the rodeo, spent some time with old friends and I think the best part of the day was the ride down to Ranchester to see Glenn and spend the night. Leaving Hardin in the early evening I headed …
Rough Night
Fellas in the spot next door were up ’til after 1AM. I couldn’t decide whether to join them or put my ear plugs in. Sounded like they were having a good time. The cot I brought doesn’t fit in my small tent so I had to sleep on the ground. Sort of like trying to sleep in a straight backed kitchen …
Hardin, Montana
Great little spot at the KOA in Hardin. I got here about 4:00 this afternoon. It was 104 degrees at the time. Jeeezzz! I don’t think there is any danger of the tomatoes freezing for the next couple of nights. Since then, I went over to the rodeo and took in the evening event of a big loop roping, found …
