Sunday Stills ~ Yellow

 

This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge was to take photos of subjects that are yellow. I’m a little late posting this because we just got home from a camping trip in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.

This was the Santa Rosa Lake State Park at sunset. Notice the yellow reflection on the water.

And the same lake at sunset with some fishermen enjoying the view.

And one last photo taken just before the yellow orb dropped below the ridge.

The Human Body is an Amazing Thing

 

Just a quick post because were getting ready to head out the door to eastern New Mexico for a camping trip this weekend.

I wanted to say thank you to those that were worried about my chopped up finger and asked how I was doing. All I can say is that I am amazed at our bodies’ ability to heal. Last week on this day I had sliced my index finger in two places right down to top of the muscle. I had gotten my tetanus shot last summer in the hospital after my horse kicked me in the face, so I knew I was ok with that, but I worried that I should have went in for some stitches.

Remember how it looked last week?

Instead I trusted my gut (and my fear of needles) and listened to my dear, long time friend, who is a registered nurse and lives in Thailand (Hi Debi!!!) who said that stitches wouldn't have been an option in that location on my finger anyway. 

So I cleaned and re-bandaged and used the popsicle stick (to keep it immobile) everyday for a week and today, I just threw the stick away and am just using a simple bandaid.

Looks pretty good, huh?

And with that I’ll leave you with a photo of last night’s sunset over our barn.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sky Watch Friday~Glowing Embers

I'm trying this Sky Watch thing for the first time and sharing a photo from yesterday, of the sunset over our ranch. The skies reminded me of Glowing Embers, or as my kids said: Glowing Lava. Enjoy!And if you'd like to view more photos of beautiful skies around the world check out Sky Watch!
