Weekly Photo Challenge: Monochromatic.

by

The best barn cats are monochromatic; they blend in. Unobtrusive lurkers, they’re the color of dirt, hay, and shadow. A bright colored calico is an easy target for a hawk, but a tabby…well, rodents beware.

This pair are siblings; it’s hard to tell where one stops and the other starts. Hank stalks coyotes, intimidates dogs for sport, and is very outspoken, while Squirrel prefers killing moths, napping in boxes, and proofreading. Not so monochromatic after all.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Vivid

by

The memories are as vivid as black and white, as stark as night and day, and as real as skin and bone. I don’t remember my grade school teachers, but I remember the horses that were in our pasture. Like pencil marks on the door frame, I measured my height against their shoulders to guess … Read more

Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Way (to Forever)

Another day rolls on and another night creeps forward, on the way to the place mortality rests. If there is a light path to Infinity, and karma plays a part, then the thing I focus on will be returned to me. I’ll keep my eyes right here.

Gravity–it’s a dependable force of nature. Look how well it works.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Early Bird.

by

Before I came to live on the prairie, I always thought bird-watching was for eggheads; something for people with no dogs or horses. I was wrong. More than wrong: I was blind. I was being small-minded about feathers.

I do my writing long before dawn, and this time of year, there are birds chirping so loudly, just outside my window, that they can not be ignored. It’s pretty inspirational in a way. They’re the only ones up with me at this hour but I have no idea what they look like–it’s dark out. Who sings that loud in the dark??

“Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.” ― Rabindranath Tagore.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Afloat.

by

Afloat: Llamas are animals from another planet; everything about them is sideways of the usual. They look like badly put-together horses but behave more like cats. They love family and protect their home. They have a springing float in their gait–hang time–and a total disregard for gravity, that lingers after the play is done.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ephemeral.

Like a northern breeze across the prairie: just an instant of a moment in an hour of her life.

Forever in my mind.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall

by

My muck cart is blue, with perfect balance and foam-filled wheels, and I prefer wooden handles on my muck forks. I wrote about my love of mucking in my blog last friday, but I didn’t mention that my favorite part is the wall around my muck cart. I know mucking isn’t for everyone, and I’m … Read more

Weekly Photo Challenge: Orange

by

Not my favorite color. Sometimes the sunsets are so outlandishly loud, so psychedelically overstated, that it almost changes the flavor of the air. But I was looking the wrong direction. Beside me, it’s reflection was sweet and true. Anna Blake, Infinity Farm. WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo- I enjoy … Read more

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry

by

Infinity Farm is on the flat, windy, treeless prairie, where there’s no top to the sky and the low-billowing earth creeps along without much drama. There’s a symmetry to the landscape you can learn to love. Anna Blake, Infinity Farm. WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo- I enjoy twisting these … Read more
