Random Photo Thread: The Sequel

[Kayelle]

I also took this shot yesterday of a long abandoned ranch. The land still has cattle pastured on it, but yard and buildings harbor only ghosts.

That picture fascinates me Rick. I'd love to hear the stories that place holds. Who built it, who loved it, who left it, and why?
Do you have a guess how old it might be? Did you wander around?

No idea for any of your questions. I did not go in because it is well off the road and on private property. There are many abandoned farm buildings and homesteads in the countryside around here. My father-in-law knew the people who lived on this homestead, and his wife gave piano lessons to the kids there for a time. It's been empty for 40 or 50 years now:

And this one is another abandoned ranch. I know a descendant of the original owners, but her family doesn't own the land any more.

Neato, RP!

One of my hydrangeas was a late bloomer this year, and I'll need to give it some aluminum sulphate to keep the flowers from turning from blue to pink.

I had to go up on one of the grain bins a while back so I snapped a picture of part of the homestead.

The other is of our first camping trip back in may.

Nice farm. This is my wife's family farm in NE Colorado - photo taken in February across a field of corn stubble.

Great pictures, all!

Dawg...what a beautiful hydrangea! Reminds me of my daughter's wedding - she had vases of them on the reception dinner tables. We can't grow them here, must be too dry.

Jon and Rick...such nice farm pics!

GG...I always love the fur critter pics. They look so comfy.

 

[Dawgluver]

Thanks, Cheryl! It's blooming later than usual this year, but I love it.

The farm pics remind me of ND. Say what you might, but it's a beautiful state!

Love furbaby pics, GG!

Cute guys (or gals, or other).

They're both girls

Thanks, everyone. My sweet babies... And there's one more, but I think she was in her box upstairs.

Here's my sweet little demon kitty after he scrunched up the comforter on my freshly made bed and then waved to me.

Sweet kitties, GG and Cheryl. Beagle would love her own kitty. Kitties don't care for Beagle so much.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Aw, guys, I love your kitties! More motivation for me to get this house ready for market so I can be adopted by another kitty in OH. Or...just give in and get one here.

GG, is your doggie a corgi? The photo looks a little fuzzy on my screen - then again your critters ARE fuzzy!

We're pretty sure she's a Basenji. Her legs are too long and her body too slender to be a corgi. She does have their coloring, though.

A friend called her a tortoise shell, like the cats

Happy Halloween! I was going through pics this evening - found this one of my first grandson's first Halloween at 7 months old. He's now 7 years old.
Anyone else want to share any Halloween pics?

 

[Farmer Jon]

One from this year and the others in 2013 the year jasper was born. He wanted to be coo-choo this year. He loves Thomas the train so that's what he got. Zane is Bumblebee the transformer.

VERY cute Halloween kids, Jon and dragn!
Looking forward to seeing the one from this year, Jon.

My daughter and SIL just keep going over the top more and more with their Halloween parties. SIL Steve built a pirate ship over the past year, complete with pirate skeletons to navigate it, and put it in their front yard. He named it the "Skallywag". I'll snag a pic of it from their FB.

I just love all the pics of the little ones. Keep them coming folks.
