It's been a busy week...but that's typical of course for summer. Moving irrigation wheel lines twice a day...over and over again...
But, when you're up with the birds, you get to see gorgeous sunrises!

| Mornin' Flight |
And, at the end of the day as the sun begins to set, the views are just as spectacular as in the mornin'. Pivots and wheel lines all across the valley are running 24/7...growing alfalfa to feed hungry cows who in turn provide us with milk products and beef.

This photo of our 1st cutting bales was taken on 6/26/11 (just 12 days ago). We started irrigating this field that evening.

It's amazing what a lot of summer heat and good water will do...after just 12 days, the alfalfa is over the tops of my rubber boots...and I had damp jeans this mornin'! Grow alfalfa grow!!!!

| When the Wind Blows |
Tomorrow, My Man and I are headin' into town for the annual Harney County Ranch Hand Rodeo...a day to relax, visit with friends, eat good food, and watch a bunch of great buckaroos and horses do what they do best...brand, rope and ride!
What are your plans for this beautiful summer weekend? Whatever you do...have a great time doin' it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "When the Wind Blows" photo! That would be beautiful on a wall!
ReplyDeleteThe light in that last photo is wonderful. Have a great time at the rodeo! This weekend we have a 50th birthday party to go to, but next weekend, we are off to the Calgary Stampede!
ReplyDeletereally beautiful photos! my fave is the When the Wind blows photo too:) have a good weekend! My skywatch is here.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is great, but I hate it when my sprinklers can't get the water where I need it!
ReplyDeleteAs for this weekend, we're right in the middle of first cutting (timothy for export) because of our funky spring--we're usually done by the 4th! Hoped to do a trail competition with my mare on Sunday, but it will depend on if we have a field to do...bummer!
Beautiful photos. I love sunrise and sunsets.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this post! GORGEOUS sunrise photo. :) Glad the alfalfa's growing so well. Y'all enjoy the rodeo!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! No, our goat doesn't usually go with us unless she sneaks in which is what she was doing in the picture :)
ReplyDeleteI think that the sunsets and sunrises make some of the best pictures ever! Yours are just beautiful! Sounds like you are going to be having fun this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw center pivots in action, I was in awe. I still am!

Planets hurtling through the sky,
Can you tell me one thing: Why
Are you intent on fleeing
Far from human sight and seeing?

ReplyDeleteSeeing the bales in the field must be very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have great weekend plans - we're going to a combined driving event and I get to ride with a fellow on the cross country course. Should be fun!
Great set of photos. Such hard work you do out there! Love the top one with the bird floating.
