Cowboy Trail

The 'Cowboy Trail' has been mentioned a couple of times here in my posts so, I thought I'd invite you to join me on a little early morning 'trail walk'. Keep your house slippers on, and your coffee close at hand, as you'll just be an 'arm chair traveler' this time around...

The trail abounds with wild Sunflowers... some droop down from the weight of bees...

Older buildings from a by-gone era still stand...

Wild Rose hips... the birds love to eat them, and maybe the bunnies too? I witnessed several bunnies darting in and out of the rain soaked grasses along the trail.

O'Neill's former train depot now houses 'Circle G Western Wear', a Western clothing, boot and accessories store.

Old fashioned hay stacks... winter feed for livestock. Barn Swallows were swooping and darting in amongst the hills of hay.

An old grain elevator...
Taking a drink before she heads out to pasture...

The breeze gently tosses the clouds around, the crickets chirp in the grass, and Meadowlarks sing their prairie song...


I hope you enjoyed your scenic 'walk'... and all that 'Fresh Air'!

  3. Joy is gifted at capturing the entire possibility of a moment. She doesn't just get an object in her lense, she gets a mood, a feeling, an inspiration, the things you sense, It's far more than Newspaper photography. I just wish someone would discover her and pay her for her talent, but a true artist would do what they do for free, anyway, because of their love of the creativity.
