Random things you see on the farm ...


This morning while I was filling stock tanks, I heard this plane before I saw it ... I think it's spraying crops ... but the horses were quite intrigued by how low it was flying and would run to get a closer look. It was interesting to watch it turn and then dip so low you'd think it would hit the trees. I took this picture with my I-phone ... so it looks farther away than it actually was.



Last night as we were coming home from Praise Band practice, I saw what I thought was maybe 1 or 2 skunks, because they were staying so close together. Rick ran and got his camera with the big lens and took this shot. He was having trouble with the lens fogging up because it was still so hot and humid outside. By the time he took this picture we had determined that it as an entire family! Momma, Daddy and two babies! Sure glad the dogs weren't around!

Cooper's Hawks

This young couple of Cooper's Hawks kept us entertained most of a Sunday morning while we were reading the papers and getting ready for church! They chased each other and the pesky little birds that were not too happy about their presence all over the pastures! Mr Mullen captured them quite well. It looks like the bird on the right is wondering what kind of mischief they will get into next!
