Weekly Photo Challenge – New
Posted in Around the farm, Weekly Photo Challenge, tagged new, photography, weekly photo challenge on January 6, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Of course it’s a new year but, my “new” is being newly adopted by a stray cat.
“Lefty” has been hanging around since last spring.
Sharing the barn and food with Monkey and Bobo…
…always dashing away when I approached.
One night, though…
Christmas Eve…
this happened!
Who comes running out from a corner to greet me?
It was a Christmas miracle, I tell ya!
So we have a frost bitten ear but that’s all I knew about this cat. We didn’t have that male cat “stink” in the barn so are we a female or a neutered male?

One trip to the vet later…
it’s a boy! A not stinky intact boy!
Like I said…one trip to the vet later, we have a newly neutered, newly vaccinated and dewormed, newly examined 2-3 yr old boy!
Kind of rough around the edges but, aren’t we all?
Happy New Year, Lefty! Welcome to the family.
Until next time…Appy Trails. 
Weekly Photo Challenge–Container

Well that’s a good definition but containers can be much more than this.
Containers to protect precious goods.
Newly hatched precious good.
Well, there are 3 but the other 2 were dried off and running…
…amazing.
I found them though.
Of course mama and papa were hard at work…
…trying to confuse me with their broken wing fabrications.
Amazing camouflage!
Ok enough pictures.
I didn’t want to stress them out too much.
I thought I’d give the parents a break.
Yeah, yeah…
I get it…
…your injured…
…broken wing. Blah, blah, blah.
I see ya and I’m leaving.
Amazing.
Until next time…Appy Trails 
All That Glitters…
Posted in Around the farm, tagged dew, morning sun, nature, photography on July 3, 2014| 1 Comment »
It’s July in Wisconsin and it’s 56° outside.
I’m feeling grumbly this morning.
I start my coffee and put my jacket on before I head out to do my chores.
As I exit my door, I’m greeted with soft nickers and a bray.
I close the main gate behind me and, I stop…
…and in the morning sun, I see a glitter.
I glance out at the pasture and in between the patches of shade, I’m overwhelmed.
So…I return through the gate (followed by soft nickers and a bray) and run for the camera.
The morning dew is shining like diamonds.
A soft breeze is gently moving the glitter.
I am in awe.
I am in awe…
I’m having my coffee on the deck this morning.
After I finished my morning feedings, that is.
Until next time…Appy Trails 
Just something about them…

Each summer I look forward to the birds.
Killdeer
Hummingbirds
Starlings
But I love my barn swallows.
I don’t care about the little piles of poo.
There’s just something about their little beauty, twittering and chirping that warms my heart.
When I see those little baby heads peering over the edge of the nest, I run for the camera!
We have about 5 nests throughout the horse shed and big barn.
I spy between 2 and 5 chicks squeezed into the various nests.
Of course the watchful eyes of the parents, too.

Kickin’ Up Your Heels

I gotta tell ya…
One of my favorite things, is to watch the horses run and play in the pastures.
I open the gates everyday for their grazing enjoyment.
Yesterday I decided to grab my camera, for some action shots.
You know, you can never have enough of those stored on your computer.
So here we go!
Even fat, little Tater Tot got into the race.
Everyone seemed to be doing their own figure 8 patterns, almost playing chicken with each other.
Farting and squealing…

Squealing and farting…
Ahhh,
Just such a feeling of beauty,
grace…
…and comic relief.
Don’t sell him short (yes pun intended) those little legs were a blur.
Atta boy Tater!
I see Kentucky Derby in his future.
Don’t you?
Until next time…Appy Trails
