While trailing cows I found a rock bank with some red rock in it, but it didn't come out very well photogenically...but, it is fun to see how many faces you can find in the rocks.
This photo of some alfalfa hay that we grew last summer is at least green...
So, I had to make some color. I had bought some material to make dog bandannas that came folded in these cute lil' triangles...this is as colorful as it gets around our place~~
Everyone is invited to join us. Drop by Sunday Stills Color Challenge to get links to all the other participating bloggers. And check back later today...Ed will have next week's challenge posted.
Thinking I see at least 4 faces in the rock. Very cool photo. You're going to have some stylin' doggies wearing those colorful bandana's!
ReplyDeleteDo the dogs get to choose?
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
(keep having trouble getting 'precessed')
Let's see... a couple of snake faces, an alligator face, a fish face, a Who face(think grinch) a hand, and the letter S! Love the bandanas too!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog! We live similar lives!

Thats why we call it a Challenge... :-)
ReplyDeletenice bandanas, I bet the doggies look great in them.
Great minds...............I thought of photographing fabric, red rocks and even alfalfa this morning in my desperation to find a color shot. Good job!
ReplyDeleteEd sure knows how to pick a "challenge"-color in the winter isn't easy to find. Love the fabric, it's going to make cute bandanas.
ReplyDeleteThose rocks freak me out. They look like giant snakes slithering down the hill. Great pics though. I do hope the dogs appreciate their new bandannas :)
ReplyDeleteCool and colorful bandanas!
ReplyDeleteI love how you made your own color :)
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, the red rocks...that's a great color shot to me. You have to be able to find the color around you...and you did.
Those bandanas are SO cute! You gave me an idea to pass along to my mom, she could easily get some fabric at Walmart and make little cowgirl- er- cowdog bandanas for their dog Rosie!
ReplyDeleteThe red rocks are stunning! And I love the dog bandanas...what a great idea! I'm going to make some for Sophie. :)
ReplyDeleteI did see faces in the rock! Love the bandanas!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I know what you mean, the only color here right now is from the evergreen trees.
ReplyDeleteI really like the photo of the hay, i think thats a really cool photo!
ReplyDeleteBut I also have to tell you...you got my wheels turning, wondering if the horses will post with some colorful bandanas....hmmmmm
I swear I saw the Jubba of the Hut from star wars in that rock!! Fun picture!!
ReplyDeleteAnd what cute fabric for the dogs bandanas!! Love them!
Your area just has its own color, brown is a color, isn't it? Curious, what makes some alfalfa flakes really crumbly and some stick together as a flake better? Which is better?
ReplyDeleteNice improv on your color! Way creative. Way!
ReplyDeleteOK I will play, I see 5 faces!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my next blog I posted an old family Black and white photo that if you look in the trees you see several relatives looking on...
Hint: A victorian women, a man face that looks like he might be from the civil war
I think the contrast of the rocks against the sky is a nice use of color.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got great prints for bandanas for the dogs. Luckky pups!
I saw the faces too! Those are going to be cute bandanas!
ReplyDeleteLittle Cindy Sue is so dadgummed cute!! I'll just bet you could teach her to drive that old tractor!! That sounds like a nice way to spend some time with the man you love - nothing much to do but have great conversation...maybe a little smoochin' too!! :) Well, why not!?
ReplyDeleteHey - just had to comment on my word verification today!! "ourapi" Most fitting for me, wouldn't you say?
ReplyDeleteCool pics! One of those dog bandanas would look great on my Border Collie.
ReplyDeleteI just nominated you for Lemonade-you can see the posting on my blog.
Thanks everyone for such great comments...never knew red rock could be so interesting!!! We grow it here you know ;~)
ReplyDeleteFroglander, to answer your question, it's all in the amount of moisture available during baling. It there wasn't enough moisture, your flakes fall apart and you loose lots of your leaves (I also find that my horses don't like the flavor as much either). Of course, too much moisture will cause mold or spontaneous combustion and a fire. So, just the right amount of moisture will give you flakes that are just right! The farmer has to constantly check for the moisture content...that's why you never see baling in the middle of the hot afternoons. Around here, most baling happens at night.
Boy howdy, I know how you feel trying to find a little color this time of year. It's the same in South Dakota...brown, brown and more brown-LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe could load up and go visit Mikey in AZ-it's springtime there. Great temps and everything should be greening up nicely.
I see a upside-down Oscar the Grouch. Humm! Love the pic of the good kind of horse hay, Cindy Sue will look sooo up-town in the new bandanas..you have enough of that great material to make one for the bossman?
ReplyDeleteHandsome cowboy you got there with a kind smile
ReplyDeleteGood try with the colors.
Winter is a hard time to find color.
