whirlin' butterflies (aka guara) nestled behind lavendar, bunny fer whimsy ~
the sound of water always soothes my savage soul. i like the softness of this lil fall coz it takes me back to babblin' brooks and creeks of another lifetime
the fish are becomin' more active as the temps rise (this taken in march 2012).
the vivid orange of a cacti that resides in the front yard - amazin' beauty and danger all at once....
the pond upon enterin' the back yard via garage. looks so small in this pic...
remnants of an era gone by - a wooden wagon wheel sits upon a pine, nestled amongst the trees and pond..
a kind welcome by the door, i have become quite fond of the corkscrew plant
a herd of deer - not a common site in these parts. the drought has affected all livin' things.
a gentle cattle drive, the babes to be branded, vaccinated and those cute lil bulls to become steers. the absense of green saddens me, troubles my ranchin' friend.
an indian blanket in bloom amid the dry, arid land. the colors of our new mexico sunsets, to me it emits the hope fer a better time.
never figured out what flower this is, native to this land. the cows sure did eat the dickens outta 'em though!
the hubs on Bo as they gently walked the cattle in. mesquites tryin' their best to be productive. alas, with no rains they failed to bloom, no beans fer the cattle this winter to stay fattened on.
menfolk workin' in unison - was a great day
what a face :)
last one to be branded
from the pergola to the porch. i sit here many a morn & eve tryin' to soak it all in
snakes matin' on the porch...unsettlin' to some, fer me it says "no rattlesnakes will venture" coz these are the "good guys"
