After it rains...!

Hey-owdy folks!  In the past few weeks, we have had several torrential downpours in southwest Kansas!  It has been amazing!  Following are pictures for you to enjoy.  =)

Storm clouds before the first big rain.  These are terrible quality; I didn't have my camera with me so I had to take them with my phone.

The day after!

This was fun walking through to get to my spot to check... =P

Marvelously green.

Whew... so much water, it looks like an ocean!

Well... maybe not so much; but still, it's a lot of water to be in a field!

Water over the highway north of Cimarron

Our lil' ol' dog swimming to get a stick.

Yep.  Lots o' water!

Pretty greenness...

Dark clouds.

Ponds of water in a pasture.

Of course, it's only fitting to leave you with a marvelous Kansas sunrise!

Bye bye 'til next time!

Summer in Full Swing (Whatever that term means)

Well, folkies, I have some pictures for you!!  No people pictures, of course.  If you want those, you know where to go.  =P

A sweet little calf

Cliffs on either side of the road

A river.  Yes, this is in SW Kansas!!!

Oops, out of place.  Here are the little calf's friends and family.

Canola.

Canola siliques (i.e., pods)

The seeds. 

A milo seedling that was having trouble figuring out which way was up.

Horse!  With wind towers in background.

A second horse

And more and more horsies!

A horse sticking his tongue out at me.

For some reason this horse reminds me of an old west horse.

Alfalfa blooms.

Alfalfa again.

More alfalfa.

Wheat!

An escaped horse.

Cool; pickup, horse and corn!

I tried killing kochia with paint, but it rained and washed all the paint off.  I ain't gonna complain about the rain though, no siree!

Yum.  The only fruit you can't see is the pineapple; it's under the egg...

Haha; I think this is funny; I have a farmer's tan on my fingers from driving the fourwheeler with my fingers curled around the handlebars! =P

Okay, that should do it for ya for awhile anyway!  Happy fourth of July early!

Insect Zoo and Spring!

Hey y'all!  We went to the K-State Insect Zoo today; it was pretty cool!  Below are pictures for your enjoyment.  =)

 Sorry, I didn't bother to rotate it.

 Haha; there, now you know if you're ever hungry you can just go eat a grasshopper. 

 Cool little blue bug!

 Igh; millipedes.

Wouldn't you just love encountering a centipede that big?

Okay, now some Spring pics!

 

 There ya are!  Have a lovely Spring! =D
