Friday, October 21 – Canadian Thanksgiving, Leslee style. We have the honor of feasting with our friends, Leslee and Curtis, each year on Canadian Thanksgiving. A wonderful evening of delicious food and great conversation. As you can see here, Toots was pretty excited to get started on a roll or two and maybe some chocolate milk.

Thursday, October 20 – A shot just as the sun was going down at Giant Springs. Gotta love that golden light that time of day.
Your photo refuses to upload here. I don’t know what the problem is. I can see it, but it won’t post to the site. I am so sorry. It is an awesome shot too. I don’t get it!! I am sitting here looking at your photo on my site as I edit and yet it doesn’t show up when you try to look at it on the actual site. Crazy.
Wednesday, October 19 – Here are the final 8 in the walk contest. I randomly put them up and they are not in order of placement at all.  I am so proud of each and every one of them. I think you could say we had a very successful walk. Now on to doing a book with photos from everyone. Great job everyone!!

Tuesday, October 17 – I decided to share all the photo walk submissions, as I was so impressed with everyone’s work. What a walk we had, as you can tell by the photos I received for the contest. I will split them up over 2 days for viewing. Enjoy!!

Monday, October 17 – Here are the other 2 photos that I had in the top 3 along with Alan’s for the photo walk. It was a very hard decision and all are winners in my eyes. Kimmie’s car and Leslee’s leaf both are outstanding.

Sunday, October 16 – What a week it has been. We have been preconditioning calves all week and I am exhausted. In between those days, I had camera club and had the monthly contest to do a slide show of there. I completed the World Wide  photo walk judging and here is the big winner.  Alan H won with his Flying Nun capture and now will move on to the international competition. His photo is spectacular, don’t you think?
Saturday, October 15 – Peeling paint and lots of texture – a photographer’s dream come true. I need to go back and try to get a better angle on this wood. Love that old pink paint. Son, Carl, tells me it used to be bright red when he was a youngster. We are busy working cattle this week in preparation for shipping the calves. I don’t have much internet time, so am sneaking on when I can. I have put lots of hours in to studying the photo walk submissions. Talk about a challenge. I finally have it down to the top 3. It is really tough. I know I have to go push that button to pick the winner eventually. But it is hard, as they all deserve to win. I would say our photo walk was a success judging by the photos that were taken.
Friday, October 14 – Back to the steam museum for a quick shot. Can’t help but love that peeling paint and rust.
Thursday, October 13 – Got to stay home from moving cows, but tomorrow begins the real work; preconditioning shots, eartags and picking out replacement heifers. The wind is really howling today and it is cold. Glad I am not on the back of a horse. Full moon is this week. Don’t know when I will have time to post again this week. I believe the full moon is tonight. It was cloudy last night and not sure what to expect tonight. The forecast is for mostly cloudy. Here is a shot from last month, just in case. You can tell that we had a bit of smoke in the air last month.
