I Can See for Miles and Miles


A few more pictures from my walk a couple of days ago. We've had another 7 inches since then! Like we really needed it!
 
 I can see for miles, and miles. And it's nothing but white, white, white. This is right across the road from our house.
Don't think this fence can keep the cows in anymore. But then again, they'd sink way to far into the drift to get very far.  This is right by our house.
This is the same pump I had posted a few months ago at Sunrise, but now with a mountain of snow by it.

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.
