Biggest Buck Yet

Jarrod tried his hand at bowhunting this year. He enjoyed the new style but never got in a position to get a buck using the bow this first go-round. But opening day of rifle season came along and he found the biggest buck he's got so far. The weather was miserable again this year on opening day. I personally don't understand how it's fun to sit and shiver your ass off waiting maybe for something to come along. But it makes him happy hunting deer so I do my best to encourage him and not roll my eyes too much when I've heard the umpteenth deer hunting story. His eyes sparkle when he tells the stories. If only he put so much effort into pursuing me - then we might have something in common to talk about! ;-)

November Skies

I have noticed lately a change in the colors of the landscape in central Kansas. When I am driving, the distant hills have a subtle purple tone and the fields are all different shades of greens, red, and tans...sorta like a country quilt. I have been wanting to take the camera out again, but my free time during daylight hours has been limited, although the light has been favorable for good chunks of the day lately. We moved our cows home for the winter on Saturday and helped uncle John move his cows on Sunday. I took the camera along and was able to steal a few minutes to capture the clear blue sky and the landscapes as best I could. The sunset even cooperated...the horizon was ablaze with color at precisely the same time I had nothing to do but admire it. The moon must have been in the perfect phase this weekend because the cow moving went the best it ever has and the photos...well you'll see what I mean about the colors!
