...and you have to be quick with a camera too, it changes so fast.

Absolutely georgeous photos. I like the one of the horse too, looks like you have a good life there.

Thank you. Our horses are like family. We spend a lot of time with them. It's funny you know, I hear people sometimes say they can't catch their horse in the pen or pasture, and how come ours just walk up to see us. I always ask them if they ever spend any time with their horse when they're not trying to catch them? We spend lots of time just hanging out with them and it pays off. Besides, it's very enjoyable!

Sir, you are making me want to pull up stakes and head northwest.

Exquisite sky painting!

Yes, we get some real beauties. We saw the northern lights one time years ago, only once over the north range about a mile east of us. Just driving home one night and WOW. We are 2.5 hrs southwest of Calgary and the city glow blots out the northern lights now I think. Too bad.

Here's one from around the new year. I liked that his dog was in it, and the sun. It was about 830am and we were just getting started moving 283 cows about 15 miles to the home ranch. About 25F with a nice breeze. Enjoy.

We just had friends over to share my wife's birthday cake and one said she had just seen a painting of a cowboy on his horse with his dog alongside. "How beautiful it was", she said. Let me say that, too. How beautiful! Thanks.
