~~Stark Beauty~~

On the way  to town early yesterday morning, I took this:

Maybe it's the coldness of the bare tree or the colorful sky behind it that makes it so stark and beautiful at the same time.  

Just one more thing that show's God's talented hand!!

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!

Fall Picture Effects

Today I played with the fall pictures that I took a couple days ago.  I use Corel Paint Shop Pro and there's lots of different effects that you can use.  First, this is what the original picture looked like:

Next, here's the same picture with different effects on it:

Pretty cool, huh?!

Clearing our Hunting Road......

Sunday, Dad took me and my little sister to the woods to clear a road that we use when we are hunting.
It had been a couple of years ago when it was last cleared, so it was pretty grown up!
The trees had blocked most of the road, so it was not real easy to get down through it.
This is what it looked like before we cleared it:

And here's what it looked like about 30 minutes later:

Lot's better, huh?

Now we're just waiting on this weekend, first doe hunt of the year!

Then it's deer meat on the smoker!!!! Yuuuuummmmmy!

The blind is going up tomorrow and we'll probably go shoot my gun this evening........

And in the words of Miranda Lambert (My favorite country singer) "But I just got the first buck doe of the season"

Colors of early Fall

I took these pictures yesterday when we went riding around.  There are lots of wild flowers in bloom right now.

Here's just a few of them:

Leavenworth Eryngo (it's a kind of Thistle)  Lot's of it blooming this time of year.

Cardinal Flower, it looks kinda like Indian Paintbrush

Blue Sage

On the way home we came across a herd of buffalo in the tall grass

I think this one thought that she was hiding in the golden rod!
