Week 12: Golden Light

As the sun is going down I'm helping my Dad load a bull into our trailer to take him back home.  He had escaped into the adjoining pasture, and we were using the land owners corral to get him into the trailer.  The rest of the cows stand back and watch curiously.  A gentle breeze is blowing, stirring the dust up and bringing a welcoming break in the heat of the day.

We get the bull loaded and Dad is talking to the neighbor.   I get my camera out to take some pictures while there is still some golden light left.  By now, little bugs are starting to come out and fly around on this warm summer evening.  

 

I liked how the sun filtered over the corral boards.  I took this in August of 2011.

Week 11: One Fancy Dude

This guy is one fancy dude.  He insists on fixing his hair everyday!  Sometimes his obsession gets annoying!  As if that isn't enough, he goes around showing it off, strutting here and there all day!!

Though I can't say all of the other guys are jealous, they think he's just weird.  Especially since he can't see too clearly, what with his hair in the way and all.  But don't tell him that, he won't listen.

The Fancy Dude

 

I took this picture in 2011.  He is a Polish Crested (I think, but who knows!) rooster that our friends gave to us because they had too many.  He definitely doesn't blend in with the rest of them!

See another picture of him on my Flickr

 



Week 10: A Lone Tree

This picture was taken two years ago.  It was one of those times where you decide you are going to get a picture of something that you had been driving past several times a week.  Have you ever done that? 

 I have always liked this tree, and the fact that there wasn't anything behind it.  Perfect for a silhouette-type picture.  I'm thinking about doing a four seasons collage with this tree.  Of course I will have to get the other three seasons first!

 

 

 

 

 

I turned this picture black and white because the color version just wasn't working for me.  I will still mess around with the color version and see if I can get it figured out.  If not I could always take some more!  That is until the tree dies and falls over, but in the mean time....
