THIS SIDE OF A DRY RIVER

Short green turns under
clear skies, no place to hide
rocks and cattle grazing.

Sometimes the devil’s in the details. One more red sky morning, March 10, 2014.

My eye was continually drawn to the broken clouds in the saddle, but framed alone, it didn’t evoke the same feeling for me.

From start to finish, the red sky lasted about 10 minutes.

By changing my own perspective on the ground, I finally put the top of an oak tree in the saddle. But despite yesterday morning’s red sky, chance of precipitation is 0%.

I was trying to be conscious of perspective while framing yesterday morning’s red sky photos, here aware of the different feeling each evoked and still capture the quickly changing light and color.

Sorting cows from calves

We branded a little bunch of calves yesterday with Brent and Chuck roping well enough to keep those of us on the ground from waiting long between calves. Good to know I can still throw some calves and feel pretty good the next morning. A fun day among friends.

A lone Blue Oak that has provided shade for cattle for as long as I can remember, well-before we hauled horses in gooseneck trailers. We still park and unload them beside the old tree to the gather the pasture, but it’s just not the same. Its limbs twisted within one another while alive, it must have been like a house of cards when the high winds came on August 18, 2013, to leave them resting against its trunk.

…before my time. The galvanized casing of an old water well, perhaps a windmill, elevated to fill a tank or water trough for livestock.
