Walking Through the Back Yard


We are all enjoying an early spring this year. It's probably my favorite season. Here at Rimrock Cove springtime means lots of our favorite wildflowers making their appearances again as we remember them one by one... their names and their locations on the property. We've had some recent rains and the water table is up. The trees want to leaf out, but for a few days here we can capture some great shots in the woods without the leaf cover.
Because I was tired, I bailed out on an offer to go shoot some pics with my friend, Rhonda. Later I was wishing I had gone with her. The next best thing I could do was to trample around on my own place and grab a few late evening shots of the creek.
Tess and I set out for about an hour of shooting and this is what we got.
Enjoy.



My faithful friend, Tess, waits patiently while I try different settings.



Beautiful Red Bud and waterfall here at Rimrock Cove:







Hiking back to the house through the pasture I noticed the sunset reflecting on the mountains across the valley. I pulled my camera back out, caught the shot, put the camera back and when I looked up it was all gone.

River Ride

Today is March 2, 2012. I set out this morning to do a long list of errands when my husband suggested we take a little horseback ride down on the Buffalo River. I can't say "no" to that... ever. So we loaded up a few horses and took off for the trailhead. It wasn't long before we started seeing wildflowers. The ones we usually see later this month or next month. It has been an unusually warm winter and all the signs of spring are starting to appear.
I took my little "not so pro" camera along because it's got a bomb proof reputation and I was able to bring back a few shots from the day. Here's a peek of our beautiful Buffalo River early in March.

The weather is forecast to continue to be warm in the coming week. We should begin to see more trees in bloom for a beautiful March.
