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!

Thanks for Lookin'

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.

Thanks for Lookin'

Buffalo Morning

Yesterday morning, I went with dad to feed the buffalo and try to sook them into a trap by the pens.  The buffalo working is going to start Wednesday, so the sooner the buffalo are moved into the trap, the better.  Most of the buffalo will come running when they  hear the siren and see the feed truck.  

Come one, come all!!

They come from every direction....

The bulls roar and fight over the cookies

This bull wanted a close-up....He got plenty close!!

Slowly but surely we got them into the trap....

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?!
