Nothing special, just sat quietly for the first time in three months this weekend with the camera and was rewarded with a couple of visitors.

Thanks Paul, mine too. The 70-200 with the extender was actually too much lens for the first shot. This little bugger couldnt have been 10 feet away and I was looking straight into the sun.

Thanks Trent. So far I'm pretty happy. On the way home tonight I saw a Bull Elk and his harem. Got some pics, but there were pretty far away. Man I really need to get a house so I can share some pics!

Chris, this area is about 20 miles due east of Abilene off a tributary called Pecan Bayou. Our place has an earthen damn built around the turn of the century that backs Pecan Bayou up about half a mile on the property making a 20' lake about 100 yards wide. The bottom is rock so the water is gin clear all the time. We have offsets on the property (sheer cliffs) overlooking the river up to about fifty feet. The top portion where this was taken is west texas prairie with prickly pear and mesquite. The bottom is river bed riparian forest with oak, elm and cottonwood. The property has been in our landowners family for over 150 years and has the original rock home constructed by hand by the landowners greatgrandfather. It also has hand laid rock fence dividers that divide the entire place - probably over 10,000 feet of hand laid rock fence on the place. Before the greatgrandfather died, he told his great grandson (our landowner) about the last herd of buffalo that migrated across north central texas and took him to the spot where the ground was laid bare on the place by the herd as it went west for the last time.
More information than you wanted I'm sure. But it's a fascinating story that I love to share with people.

No good without PICTURES!!!

It's very interesting and seems like a great place to live. I think we all would love to see some pictures of the spread if you don't mind sharing them.

nice description of your place. Just reading about it makes me hungry for some photos. Its neat to hear the background info and about the generations before us.
