Oat Hay stacks

Last weekend I drove by the oat hay field. Tractors were out gathering up the bales again, but on a different field. I drove by the house and these two HUGE stacks of hay were there, along with the baler. There were "NO TRESPASSING" signs all over and I didn't wish to walk up their driveway, so I took a couple of photos and ran back to my car (I'm SUCH a coward!) Gorgeous oat hay, eh? NONE of it for local farmers or horse owners, however...(sigh)

Sorry for the chain link. I had to stick my lens through it to get the photo! My bad.

Utah Hoodoos~~ABC Wednesday, June 10, 2009

These hoodoos are in Utah, outside of Bryce National Park. Hoodoos are rock formations. These are made from wind erosion and rain and snow. Aren't they beautiful? "U" is for Utah hoodoos. ABC Wednesday for June 10, 2009.

More hay~ That's My World

The hay machines were out again last weekend, but working on a different field. There was another field ready to be baled, and I'm certain those bales will be picked up this week. We are having a break in our hot weather, due to the coastal (June) influence. Temps are about 10 degrees below normal right now and we are all taking advantage of this! It was an absolutely incredibly beautiful weekend last weekend both in the desert and up in the mountains where I board my horses! I just had to drive around and take some pics! That's My World for Tuesday, June 9, 2009.

footprints in the dirt

While I was stopping trying to get pics of the oat hay, I looked down and saw these tracks. They were very vivid in the fine dirt! There were several of them, but these were the clearest.

Silhouette~~Sunday Stills Challenge for 060709

I took this photo in Tucson during the same trip I took my header photo. Tucson is a great place for silhouettes! The saguaro are so beautiful against the sky, don't you think? Sunday Stills Challenge for June 7, 2009. Enjoy your Sunday.

"T" is for thunderheads~ABC Wednesday, June 3, 2009

Thunderheads were on the horizon when we visited Joshua Tree National Park last weekend. They followed us our entire visit. There was one spectacular one that was way off, probably over the Colorado River. Isn't it beautiful? ABC Wednesday for June 3, 2009, our 37th wedding anniversary!

Joshua Tree sunset~Mellow Yellow June 1, 2009

We saw this beautiful sunset while in Joshua Tree on Saturday. It only got better after a few minutes! The high desert there was much cooler than our lower desert and they get a pleasant afternoon breeze! Mellow Yellow for Monday, June 1, 2009.
