Sunflowers are abundant this time of year and show their happy little faces for about a month in fall.  They sway in the wind, chatting with one another and say hello as I pass them on the road. 

 

Bison are as abundant as the sunflowers, but they're around all year long.  They're shedding their winter coats here but when it gets cold they will look simply marvelous.  Bison hides are so soft.  I love their pompadour hairdos.

 

Sitting alone on the side of the road near our house is a retired box car.  It was converted into a habitable space for a time but now it houses bats, bees and various rodents. Box cars are valuable areas for storage around these parts. Who needs a tough shed.

Here's some fancy meadow decor.  Long lost and forgotten rusty old car wears some green leafy vines so fashionably.  Old farming implements also provide a curious eye something interesting to look at.

 

Beautiful New Mexico sunsets..... ahhhhhhhhhhh  what can I say, I love them.  They often bring a refreshing reprieve from the bland, colorless winters.

 

 

Skulls abound around the yard seem to capture and emit an essence of prairie life.  They are reminders around our home of how they provide life sustaining food for our family.

 

Neighboring cows walk along the lonely highway near our home.  Cows break up the monotany of a treeless and bleak country road.  We stop and say hello from time to time and give them our best impression of a moo.  They sometimes look indifferent and sometimes look a bit annoyed but I'd like to think that we are an interesting break in their monotany as well.

 

 

Here's Buck the horse.  He used to live on a neighbor's land but moved away a while back.  We miss Buck.

 

 

 

Bears sometimes visit.  We don't mind them except for their ravenous appetite.  Our bees don't like them at all.  After building a fortress of sorts around our bee hives we haven't had any bear attacks on our honey...yet.
