Under his watchful eye

Our dog Quito is loyally devoted to Kristi. He watches over her like a mother hen with her chicks. Now that the snow is so high around the house, he watches over her while she watches TV or reads a book on the couch. You couldn't ask for a better dog.

 

Kristi may never forgive me for posting this picture, it's not very good one of her, but I wanted to show how devoted Quito is to her.

Windmill in the snow

It was just such a beautiful day today, I went for a little walk with my camera.

Corky

This is a picture I shot way back in 2005 with my first Digital camera. It was an Olympus 3.0 point and shoot. The resolution of this picture isn't the greatest (my cell phone takes higher resolution pictures now than that camera) but I still love this picture. Corky, is the father of a friend of mine. He came and helped with one of our brandings. He use to steer wrestle in his day, and is still a rodeo judge at many a 4H Rodeos in SD.  He's so much fun to be around, and I'm so glad I captured this shot.  That year I entered this picture in the Mobridge Art show and won 1st place. I also entered it in the Dewey Co. Fair and got a 1st place and Reserve Champion on it. Winnings or not, it will always be listed as a favorite of mine. Plus I just love the lovely green hills of west river South Dakota.

You have to have some humor to live in ND

As Todd was getting dressed to go to work this morning, he came in the kitchen with his old red hat that he's worn for ages and ages, and had it on backwards. He said he was being cool like the kids now a days. I thought it was just too funny and ran and got my camera.  Doesn't quite look he'd fit in with the "hip" kids of today, but then again, maybe? This is a one "Hip Cowboy!!" Either that or the cold weather is getting to him.
