Nameless Creek in a season of plenty
I’ve taken shots here before, butt…
I squatted down to get closer to creek level for this shot, but suddenly realized the water was so much higher on my boots that the seat of my pants was in the creek.
Small price to pay, I suppose.
Water Fact: Worldwide, big investors like T. Boone Pickens are buying up water rights like they have bought up oil. Some have predicted that the next wars will be over water.

It's early September and our pasture is knee high, lush, and each morning full of dew-covered spider webs. It will bear cutting again, hopefully for hay, very soon. We're without anyone to do that work now, so If you know of anyone who might be interested, here's the story.

Hi Fred, stopping by to say, “Hi,” but can’t resist… if all you’ve got going against you is a soggy but from that glorious creek, you’re doing okay, my friend. Congratulations on a successful 2009 and keep up the good work!

Wet, cold rear end is a small price to pay for this terrific photo, plus it makes a great story. Wish we had an after shot of you after dunking yourself in the stream.HA!
