Hangin' With My Buds

Sometimes you take home for granted-as a starting out place but because I get to go, home is also a destination. I love this place because it has everything- a hill, a plain, a forest, prairie and desert. I also got curious about zooms on my cameras so I got out the 12X Canon and the SLR Sony and did some comparison shooting. The Canon also has digital zoom that I am snobby about not using but today changed my mind. 48X is a lot of zoom-only problem being is the Canon runs out of pixels and high zoom on any camera amplifies any wiggle at all-hard to get really clear shots without a tripod. The pups were busy bees. Buster rats out Honey when he thinks she is going too far-a real high pitched anxious bark and they kept me hopping up so I just spent the day outside with them. A very nice day.

My tiger lilies are all shaded so August is their time to bloom around here.

Honey was my little shadow all day long.

Buster and I sat on the deck porch-the dogs favored perch and watched Honey try to get the geese gentled down. Maybe our talk did some good because she eventually came back and they were all still in place.

Arapaho ranch turned out some well-fed horses for us to watch. A dark grey appaloosa did not take kindly to Honey's attempts to herd them (they mostly ignore her) and took a half-hearted kick at her. I'm glad she knows that can happen. More pictures of the place at the Web Album. Click the album to go there:
