Sunday Stills~Water Towers and Grain Silos

 

A little late for the Sunday Still Challenge this week. My only excuse is that I’m sleep deprived from a week spent sleeping in a tent and living in a barn waiting the arrival of an adorable foal. Yes, She’s here!!! (More on that tomorrow, I promise)

 

But for now, here are my entries for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge of Water Towers and Grain Silos.

This one was taken in Hatch, New Mexico two years ago. (Yes, we found a letterbox there)

This one was taken last month in Edgewood, New Mexico.

She is here? Seriously? I said filly! But I don't think my date is right! I can't wait to see her! Now we have to wait til tomorrow? Patience, Paint Girl, Patience!
Love the B & W on the water tower! I don't know why my state doesn't have cool water towers like that! Maybe we do, and I just haven't seen any?!?

AH-HA!!! SHE is here. At least I've got part of my guess right! lol

Gorgeous water towers. I wonder how often they have to be repainted? And if they are painted with a new image or the old ones are 'freshened up'.

did you deliver the foal or did you get the vet to do it?

How's a horse in labour? I shall like to be an exchange laborer for you. Not that I am very good, the few times I have been on th ehorse, the horses refused to move properly for me. The rascal husband joked that it was my weight and poor horsey was protesting.

At one of the horse riding places I been, there was an American girl who came to work with this horse riding place.

What wonderful artwork on the water towers...the shape is different too..from what we perceive as water towers up here...thats what great about these photo challenges..different parts of the country and different ways of doing things. Great photos! I always look forward to yours, I believe we have the same camera ( Canon PowerShot SX110 IS):)

Those are the most colorful water towers I've ever seen!

I remember the first time I saw the "Why me, Great Spirit" water tower. You were feeling pretty down right then. Glad to see that particular cloud has passed.

Glad to hear the foal has arrived; hope it was a safe delivery.
Hope you're doing well; think of you often.
