This way of makin' a liven is getting old. C'mon we got work to do....

I don't think that new sheriff recognized us at all....
Every year here at the Oberland we have a birthday party for Bob Huffman (on the Left) here he's with Ed Bergeron. They are both characters. Bob was 99 and Ed was 87.

At least I didn't miss this...
I've gotten really lazy the last few years and rarely get my better camera's with the good lenses out as I always have my iphone handy and take a lot of snaps.
I wish
I wish I had taken this a few minutes earlier. A gust of wind knocked a lot of the snow off the upper branches. It's still pretty.

Wet rose
I know I have this same rose (different views) in other galleries, but I never get tired of this one. It's only once or twice a year they survive the deer that come through our yard. Roses are deer bait...

I think I've had enough to drink...
Because we are surrounded by tall deciduous trees, in the late afternoon we get a lot of sun spots where the sun just peeks through the leaves. Once in a while, a spot will hit on a flower and leave the background dark. I like that.

Goin my way?
I get the biggest kick out of "Short George" our "Puddin" (short legged) Jack Russel Terrier herding his bigger friend Max.
This was an extreme crop. Not a great picture by a long shot from a technical aspect. But I like the overall effect, mood, etc. I think it' perfectly alright for a shot to be entertaining, this reminds me of a cartoon.

I told you before I dont like that thing pointing at me
"Frosty" so named for the few white hairs that were more prevalent when he was born, looks like he's ready to jump on my camera.
21-AUG-2010
I just barely made it past that grouchy old mare now you! Cripes!
The little hackney mare on the right is terribly intimidated by the huge mare on the left and then George the little Jack Russel thinks it's time to herd something.

"Short George"
Newest addition to "The Oberland" at the time of this picture just a hair over 10lbs and a week shy of 6 months old.

Max morning
Interesting effect of edge of the mist in the pasture behind Max with forground in sharp focus and then the early sunrise reflecting off his side. Just unusual all around.

First Tulip here at the Oberland
A little shaft of sun stiking this tulip with the deep shade behind seems to make it glow.

Opportunity is knocking...where is your camera?
My wife took this...that's me with my camera on the step. The deer was too close to use that lens!

They tell me this is a Mock Orange...If someone knows tell me.
This pretty little tree is about 20feet tall and hangs over our fence from the neighbors.

You only think you have a black cat....
With the sun on Frostys face you can see just how many colors are on this black cat. I'm suprised at his whiskers reflecting back a rainbow of colors.

Terry was getting ready to load up the Llamas (Mocha on right and Java on left)for their annual shearing. I had just finished dusting them off with the leaf blower so their hair looks a little wild.

Thunder and lightning over the Oberland
Not a great picture, but since I think it's the only picture of lightning I've ever gotten this will do until I get a better one. I took many pictures to get this one, most of the more spectacular strikes I was early or late on the shutter.

First rose bush to bloom at the Oberland in 08 .JPG
A thunderstorm was about to hit and I wanted a picture of the first blooms before they got damaged by the rain. Not much light but it came out ok.
26-JUN-2008
Uh, oh...there's a fungus among us!

All settled in for the night...Mocha, Java, Kubota...

An interesting effect of wrong settings, horses and photog in motion.

Some kind of pretty weed...
I heard today that a flower is just a weed in a place we put it.

First of the Tulips here at the Oberland
A little shaft of sunlight coming through the trees and deep shade behind seemed to make this tulip glow.

Pretty in pink...
This is an old photo I was playing with some film simulation software...I'm not sure what to think. I think I like the original better.

Another sunset from behind pasture
It's been raining, snowing, and cloudy for weeks now and I am left with finding old shots that I like.

Evening feeding tonight at the Oberland
By the time I ran to the house and got my camera and got back out by the barn the cloud that was in front of the moon had moved. It was still nice but I missed the magnificent moon beam. I enjoy the evening feeding with the stars out, tonight it is 26 degrees with a little wind from the east but still a beautiful night.

Pretty winter morning on the Oberland
A little sun lit up the fresh snow against the dark cloudy sky.

Winter Wood Machine
During the winter we try to heat with wood...we usually have enough windfall to keep us in wood for the winter. Last year I put together this splitter to run off the back of one of the tractors. Now this is a labor saving device!

Max's Evening Shade 8 year old Tennesse Walking Horse
Max had had enough of me running him around while his buddies got to stand around and eat!

Last of the leaves
Vine maples are the last trees with color here on the Oberland that have leaves left on them. These protected little trees on our back wood lot contrast nicely with the spruce in the late sun.

First touch of Fall at the Oberland
We had the briefest bit of sun for the first time in days so I took this looking down our driveway..in just a few more days I'll be blowing those leaves off my lawn and back into the woods.

Strength and strength
Here's a couple of my working girls...maybe I should rephrase that...

Profile of Royal Lady Abigail ( before she combed her hair)
Such a beautiful morning here at the Oberland..that low golden sun was playing across the horses and once in awhile we get one like this. As shot except for cropping. I don't know but you might have to be a horse lover to really like this one.

First time for the farrier
Today was Dixie's first time with the farrier. Got a nice trim Thank You! $30 please.. I like the sort of Norman Rockwell type of focus the people in the image have, so intent on what is going on.

Sweet old tunes
Every year at this time we hold a "jam" for the old time fiddler friends of Bob Huffman. He is the gentlman in the background, just turned 87 and still playing strong! The expression on Helen's face lets you know this is one sweet old tune.
