Happy Friday all! A couple evenings ago, I went over to a neighboring pasture to see the cows and calves. Have you ever just sat on a four wheeler and watched cattle? It’s surprisingly relaxing. I could just sit there for hours and contemplate the big questions in life. What questions, you ask? Oh you know….
The Ice Storm
Right now we’re having quite the ice storm! Kansas is blanketed in a thick sheet of wet, mucky ice that started to melt a little today. Now we’re back down to 32 degrees (the high was 34!) so I doubt it’ll be melting much more today. The past couple of days we piddled around on…
Counting Our Blessings – Green Wheat
I am so thankful for the beautiful rains we’ve received some of recently! I’m not the only one feeling that way either – The wheat seems quite happy as well. Of course, we could still use some more moisture, it’d help the pastures and ponds – but I’m counting blessings right now! Speaking of wheat,…
Rainy Day Farm
This morning I woke up to the sound of rain outside. We had a nice little shower and it reminded me of some pictures I took awhile back and never got the chance to share. They were taken during a rain shower, at an abandoned farm/homestead. I had my little sidekick along and we ended up…
Crops
Part of yesterday evening was spent with camera in hand, barefoot in the fields! With all the rain we’ve received, the crops were begging for someone to take pictures of them – So I obliged! The roots of a corn stalk have always been strange looking. They look as if they started growing above the…
What Once Was Green…
I’m amazed at how fast the wheat is changing colors! Around 10 days ago, I took a couple of pictures and shared them with you of this same field that I’m showing today. (Here’s the link to A Field of Green Wheat) Whenever I see golden wheat, it reminds me that summer is fast approaching (as…
A Walk Around The Farm
I went for a walk around the farm this afternoon. Just as you step outside the garage door, you’re greeted with the sight of six little kittens and a very protective mother (for an example of how protective she is, just ask our dog what happens when he gets within ten feet of her babies!)…
A Field of Green Wheat
Earlier this afternoon, I went for a quick ride up to the pasture along with a couple of tag-alongs. We stopped and took just a moment to enjoy the scene of a green wheat field with a storm in the background. I happened to have my camera (Yep, I see that face. At this point,…
Flowers of the Pasture and Prairie
All but this first picture were taken today in our pasture/prairie. I was in a shutterbug mood, it wasn’t terrible muddy from the rain, and there were flowers popping up everywhere! Ashleigh
A Play On Colors
This post has been one of the most fun to create in awhile! On these pictures, I edited colors, lighting, exposure, etc. Here’s how a few of the pictures turned out: Ashleigh
