It must be Animal week !

I had to wake them so I could have eggs for breakfast tomorrow :-)

This girl is waiting for APPLES!
The cows come running for the fence as soon as I get home from work, they think I have more apples for them.
One cow is very vocal, she alerts all the rest that it is snack time and they all come running from the back of the pasture for their treat. It is all quite fun to watch, I get to see it every day, but I am starting to run short on apples from the trees in the yard. Guess I will have to find another tree to harvest from so I can continue the intertainment.

Estate auction photos

Paul Thompson, the owner of Paul Thompson Auctions called a local auction
It was not a packed house but there were a few deals to be had
Paul having a little fun with a Daisy BB gun.
Glad no one got hurt, Especially Paul!

I shot photos at the auction today for Paul, he is setting up a new web site and needed the photos. Working with Paul is always fun and you never know what will happen next.

Firefighters doing what others can't
It was only in the mid to high 70's today. I shot this for about a half hour and I was done.
The local Fire Fighters are out there today and tomorrow in the hottest part of the day on 4 hour shifts.
It was nice to see the number of people with their air conditioners blowing cool air on them,
actually stopped and rolled the window down to give a couple bucks. NICE JOB!
