We went to a family reunion last weekend that was held on a Texas ranch owned by a family member. We had a great time visiting with family and a seeing the wide variety of animals that have been collected by the owner. Big J was sick, with nose constantly running. See how brown his nose is in the picture? He would run around playing outside, getting dirty, and when his nose would run, he’d just wipe it with his hands. He’d come into the “bunkhouse” where we were hanging out looking like he had stuck his nose in a pile of mud. Yeah, I know- TMI. You didn’t really need to hear about my son’s snot, did you?
There was some cool old stuff sitting around the ranch (click the pics for larger versions):
I love Photoshop. I love being able to take an average picture and turn it into something neat looking just by playing around with it on the computer.
As I mentioned, there was quite a variety of animals, and on Saturday we toured the whole ranch riding in the back of the feeder truck honking for the various herds to come get their dinner. These are Scottish Highlander cattle – I always thought Pretty Cow was rather an oxymoron, but these were really pretty.
Interesting seeing zebras in Middle-O-Nowhere, Texas…
This was one ornery donkey. He chased all the other animals away from the food with his girlfriend in tow. She’s giving us the evil eye.
The turkeys moseyed into the yard during our Sunday morning hymn singing, gobbling away like they heard the music and wanted to sing along. Such odd looking creatures.
