This fall I’ve walked in beauty everyday. I walk down by the creek behind the house. It’s good for my mental health. After a summer of drought my senses are a dried up sponge. Tiger Kitty is good for my mental health too. She follows me everywhere. I try not to trip over her. […]

The Black “Baldie” Cow. They are “snowflakes” wrapped in cowhide. From afar they look the same. Up close, no two are alike. They are a work of art. Sometimes the big snowflakes have little snowflakes. That look just like their mamas. Thus negating my snowflake theory. Did anyone ever tell you….. “You look just like […]

In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My […]

Does this saddle make me look fat? Paint ol’ buddy, we need to talk. I’m a little concerned about your weight. Your belly is hanging over your back cinch. I know you’re sensitive and all. It’s been a long winter. I understand where you’re coming from. I do. We are both at the same stage in […]

Basically I lack ample coordination to focus and shoot whilst simultaneously paying attention to my my duties of assisting TH with the cattle. I could get wacked by a steer. So I hold my […]

The part of America where we live is called “The Heartland” Rightfully so. Days like this tell me why it’s The Heartland because I feel it in my heart. TH and I took a drive up north to check on the steers we sent to the feedlot in November. Just some snapshots I took. Crystal blue clear skies are a […]

Last Sunday TH and I drove to Wichita for the day. Most of which was spent in the obligatory trudging through Home Depot and Lowes. However, we did stop at my favorite little Antique Mall. It is not little. It is huge. It goes on for acres and acres. You know the kind where there are booths […]

My new horse shoer came out on Saturday. A younger guy. Jake. He drove 50 miles to get here. I wanted everything to be perfect so if we get along he will come back. It is nearly impossible lately to a.) find a shoer and b.) get one to drive out here. My old “old” shoer quit me last month. He […]

Today I realized that I am a “Snapshot-ographer”. I am not Photographer. Photography is the process or art of producing images. Snapshot-ography is me shooting from the hip quickly with a pocket camera and hoping for the best. It is ridiculously, dangerously impossible to take photographs (art) while simultaneously participating in the event. The artist in […]
