The kids and I took a field trip out to my good friends Orin's house.  He gave us a tour around his ranch and the kids learned and saw a ton.  We went hunting around for arrowheads and Zachery happened upon a rattlesnake.  Freaked me out so I sent the girls to the road where the truck was.  He pocked at it and tried to get it to come out of the little sagebrush it was hiding in.  It come out for just a sec and back in there.  He only rattled once while we messed with him and that must have been about 10 minutes. 

We took a little ride to a hill to see some petrified wood and set a blanket down and ate some KFC..mmm!  Found a few rocks and went on our way again. Oh, before we took off I got a few pictures of this jackrabbit.  He is just a young one.

Zachery probing the snake.


We seen a few cows and this one just gave birth to a new calf.  How cute is that.



Oh and Chandraya had to take a picture of mom. ;)



This is the tepee ring that the indians made way back in the day.  Some of the indians hunters would leave the village and go off to hunt.  They would pitch a tent and put these rocks around the tent to hold it down.  This is were we also found some arrowheads and cutting tools they used.  Beautiful land!

Just a few pictures I took tonight..walked quite a ways to get this shot and the birds all flew off the tree and this one decided to land back on it.  So I captured it before he flew off again.  Such a beautiful spot.

From a wedding I photographed on Saturday.  Great bunch of folks.
