My White Christmas

For the first time in 7 years, we had a White Christmas.  And not just a little bit of one ether!
It started out as rain and sleet but turned to all snow.
Here's what it looked like at 2:00PM


At 3:00PM

4:00PM

And the day after...

Lots of BIG drifts!

The water tank for my horses was just about covered by this drift...






The buffalo were hungry after the storm







And so were the deer!

So we had a great White Christmas this year!:)

Sky of Fire

Took these pictures last night on the way home.  It looks just like the sky is on fire, don't ya think?!  If you look real hard in the first picture, you can see what looks like a cross in the clouds.
The color turned out really good on these pictures, must have had the magic combination right! :)

A Lone Oak

I've always thought that this was one of the neatest old trees out here.  It sets on the side of a rocky hill out in the wide open prairie.  The pictures don't really do it justice, it looks so much more majestic when
 you are standing right under it!  Just goes to show that God can plant a tree out in the wide open and it can live for a long time!

New Buck

Yesterday evening this buck came in with 4 does.  He is a 10 point with 2 kickers coming off his G2's. It looks like he has been in a fight with another buck and from the looks of the left side of his face, I think he came out on the bad end of the fight!  Here's some pictures I took of him, in the last picture, he was bedded down by our drive way.
