I don't think I ever see this calf without his tongue out.
They always act so so hungry, and come running mouths ready to eat.
Hungry Bellies
Here are the faces I see when I go to feed my calves.

Pretty Things
My dad sent me a camera battery charger in the mail just the other day. The one I got was lost in the mail, maybe stolen, who really knows. I've been dying to post some of these pictures to show you, but unfortunately we haven't had internet for the last 3 days.
Basically, these pictures are just close up of little things that I think are pretty. I was playing with the settings and getting to know my camera again.
Looking though different perspectives.
Finding the beauty in everything.
Admiring the simple things.
Thanks dad for thinking of me and sending the battery charger. It has made my week so much fun :)
Happy Fathers Day

Snapping Turtle!
On our way home from town yesterday Dalan spotted this snapping turtle, who was chillin' so close to our front yard.
I can't believe how big they are, I'm not sure the pictures give him justice. His tail is so long and take a look at his claws! A living dinosaur.
Of course we had to see if they really snapped . . . they do. This guy was real quick! See how far his neck is cranked over!
He can reach so far. It was a good adrenaline rush. Our friends down the road said that these are the only turtles that can roll off of their backs.
So, we had to test that too. He can flip over pretty fast actually. It was crazy.
We know. This makes Dalan look like a jerk. I promise you he isn't. We just wanted to make sure our neighbor wasn't pullin' our legs. For the record though, we stopped pestering the big, ugly turtle shortly after and he was not harmed :)

Obesessing Over Windmills
I think these windmills are so beautiful.
They define parts of the Sand Hills for me.
Dalan has learned how to fix them.
As he was checking this one he decided to pull out the granola bar he stashed in his coat.
What a great place to eat a snack.

Our Chinese Puppy
Here in the Sand Hills Pepper thinks she is a great digger.
Dalan says she is digging back to China. This would be the best place to start.
She doesn't ever have any rocks get in her way and the soil is . . . uh sand.
Bottoms Up :)

Playing with the Frogs
The frog above was fun and cooperative for the photo shoot.
The frog below was too, look closely and you can see the frog hopping away from Pepper.
A Prelude into My New Favorite Picture.
Dalan and Pepper on their way to gather the Heifers and hopefully their babies too. Me waiting in a spot to meet up with them on their way back.
Dalan giving his horse and Pepper water after all their hard work.
And my new favorite.
Can you tell that we really have fallen in love with this dog?

Yes. Even more "Wild Life in Nebraska" Pictures.
I can't help it. They just keep coming to me. For example. Yesterday, I was walking along and saw these tracks. I was trying to decide what they were when . . .
A white tailed deer came around the corner. Luckily I have been trained by the best and I already had my camera on and in position.
Then I was able to continue on my way to take a picture of this poor baby skunk.
Dalan may have saved the turtle from the cattle gaurd, but he did not want to do the same for this stinky little skunk. I, however think it is really cute plus I would rather save it then let it starve to death down there. So that is my project for today. I will update you as soon as the rescue is complete.
