Magical Colors In December Skies…Yippee Ki Yi Yay!!!!
This just in from “Juniper Canyon” the fog has lifted…the fog has lifted!!! Blue skies with enchanted colors have returned, hurry and go get your cameras out…lets go:) Yee-Haw!!!
“There you go again chasing after dogs, clouds, sky and whatever…Mom, seriously you need to be only worrying about me and taking my pictures!”
The contrast of the various blues, greens, golds took my breath away after so many days of darkness…thank goodness God parted the skies for a while to give us all hope!
And Miss Yippee Ki Yay herself was having fun too…she always goes with me on my hikes with my camera:)
I could on and on about this beautiful incredible view…I am very blessed to see it!
One of the gnarly trees that we grow on top of the hill behind us. It is using all of its potential…and is a great photo opportunity for me:)
A different angle of light and colors.
The one and only time I like weeds…remember “farm girl/cowgirl girl here”…weeds can give a lot to your photos as they add a different view…they are rather funky…and mysterious.
Miss Ki you are so photogenic with your colors and cute face:)
This is home…
Extraordinary wildlife above, with inspiring blue skies.
And very cute doggies below! Isn’t she cute:)
Looking out the back door up towards the hill…
Watch dogs…seriously trained watch dogs…go ahead and make their day!
One more shot of the hillside clouds playing hide and seek with my camera.
Miss Muddy Fanny Anners:)
Next years crop was farmed with no till care and is already beautifully green.
My “Little Red Bay Horse”…Annie you are cute…and no I am the boss mare silly girl.
“And with all that said Mom…I am the Boss:)”
The winter storms are once again coming…maybe bringing snow this weekend!

Kiah was an amazing heart…she is half sister to Ellie…their colors and markings are different but they have the same heart and so very smart…Ki was the best dog we had and this may sound weird but our other two Aussies are smart too but Kiah and Ellie are way beyond them wth brilliance:)

I believe it’s a blessing from God that you so appreciate your beautiful surroundings (and capture them with your camera) that He’s put you & your family in…so that you can share them magnificently with all of us!! Love this post!

I take it very seriously that God chose for me to grow up here and for WB and I to live here….we are His stewards and it is also honoring whose who went before us to homestead….and you are right, the best part to my heart is knowing that I can share it with my camera, my heart and my words:) I am thankful to God for all His blessings and glory…and friends like you…thank you too for your encouragement:)

Hi Dina, it is nice to meet you:) Thank you for subscribing to my blog…and I am happy that you are enjoying the photos of our animals and life here in Juniper Canyon which everyone from our nearest town that is 20 miles away calls “The North Country”….thought you would like that:) There are many Norwegians around us that either their families knew each other or they followed to see what America was about in the West. My Grandfather’s last name was Terjeson and I believe in Norway it would have been Terje…..not sure…my Grandmother was Karen and her last name was Olson. I believe that Grandfather came from Konsmo Norway, but I think he was born at Kristiansand in 1870. His father was Torge/Terje Gundersen in Norway…and mother was Anne Marie Nielsdr. He homesteaded the land here in Juniper Canyon in 1891…he gave us lots of heritage and traditions:) I make Lefse or potato cakes…our favorite…I love my Lefse rolled up warm with butter:) I am sending you warm wishes for a happy day and peaceful night…where you live is beautiful!

It amazes me too how beautiful landscapes can be in all seasons, each with their colors that draw you in:) I’m not sure if I am ready for snow yet and super cold….have you had snow yet? I do love the season and decorating…not crazy about un-decorating:) Minnie likes the tree and will sleep under it…and of course she makes her list for Santa Claws to bring her a few new toys and cat nip to:) Wishing you a warm holiday season too:) Ours will be a bit different as Wild Bill has to have bicep surgery on Christmas Eve day…his neck surgery healed up great but his bicep muscle on her right shoulder has three tears in it and it has been very painful…I had hoped they could have done the surgery earlier…they told me I can bring him home that evening so it will be a good celebration that he will be home and on the mend:)
