Across the Road at Sunset

I took these photos with my i-phone last week. As I was looking into the phone I didn't think that the phone's camera was catching the brilliance of the sunset. I snapped them anyway, but then forgot about it. It was only when I saw the photos on my computer that I realized how amazing that camera is.

Red & Green in October

I put the rams in with the ewes on October 1. This is Day 16 so it's time to change the marker. The ewe's heat cycle averages 17 days. If one of the previously marked ewes is remarked then I know that she wasn't bred in the first cycle. If multiple ewes are remarked I may have a  ram fertility problem.    I changed the markers for all four rams from red to green. Hendrix was not very happy about being tied up.  All he wanted was to get back to the ewe in heat. The young ram, now named Santana, (second from right) wasn't put in with the ewes until October 7 but several ewes have been marked. As I was working with the sheep I heard geese honking. It's that time of year.And here is the gorgeous evening sky.

Photography Fun--A Weekly Challenge

Not that I need a another thing to add to the to-do list...but I saw a blog that has a weekly photo challenge and I thought it might be fun to participate. This might only last a week--we'll see. This week's challenge by A Word in Your Ear is Clouds.  Without working very hard I could go back just a couple of weeks to find these photos that I took the day after I got my new lens from Santa.This is the field across the road from my house and the next one was taken just up the road.What is a sunset without clouds?  Notice the fog rolling over the hills--fog is just clouds on the ground, right? These sunset photos are taken from my barn looking to the west. The last photo, below, is another that I took from the field across the road.
