Here She Comes
She loves to run!
Her body is built for it.
Feet strong, legs powerful and body so sleek.
Tail a waving rudder and her face shows pure joy.
You can't see it when she is after the cows.
The determination shows on her canine face.
She is in her element, she is doing her job.
When she is done, her joy complete, she finds me.
She runs back for a ride, some praise
and always the love.
Feathers loves to go, but her joy is only complete
once she has come back to me.
There is nothing like the joy of a dog with a job.

Snowy Run
The ever present ravens keep us company, follow the cows and play with the dogs.
You have not experienced that play until you see a raven and a dog playing tug-a-war with a dead muskrat.
The only things Feathers loves to do more than chase cows and stare down squirrels is to run and cuddle on the bed. She does love to run!
Our Feather girl, rescue dog, cattle herder and friend.

"Lo! where fly the wrens?"

Foggy Frosty Day
 |
| Rain, fog and a frosty morning bring so many interesting textures to light. |
 |
| Can you guess what this is? It is a macro shot! |
 |
| Just love the leaves on the Chinese Elm. |
 |
| I love spider webs, frosted spider webs rock it to another dimension! |
 |
| Frosted raspberry leaves. |
 |
| Frosted and purple! |
 |
| Old iron wheel adds another dimension doesn't it? |
 |
| That's a frosty seat to wake you up! |
 |
| Tika enjoying the foggy pasture. |
 |
| Last hurrah for the pansy's! |
 |
| Sunflowers, spider webs and sigh...fall. |
 |
| Still vibrant under a coating of ice and frost. |
 |
| Foggy, frosty day - perfect for enjoying by the fire! (All photos copyright Shanyn Silinski 2011) |

Poem: Conference Call
Phone tucked into my shoulder, conference call in my ear.
Listening, understanding, nodding my head to a computer screen.
Sounds of playing little boy and barking dogs.
Traffic going down the road, where do they all go anyway?
Phone on mute, little man with questions, dogs telling tales in the yard.
Listening, taking some notes, wondering when we'll get to the point.
Sounds of the birds, cows and horses.
Traffic going across the floor, another car chase my little man?
Phone battery starting to weaken, I hear the warning beeps.
Listening and wondering when I'll be able to sneak a handset change.
Sounds of people on the call - paper, pens, cars and families.
Traffic going across my screen - games, emails, messages and chats.

Fences
Wire tight posts in deep
Good fences good neighbors make
Friends, maybe not

Fall Evening '11
 |
| The sun setting on a lovely fall day. |
 |
| I love the sun shining through the leaves. |
 |
| My golden girls, Feathers and Anna. |
 |
| Wow, that is one fast 'Houla dog! |
 |
| She's my golden girl, Feathers. |
 |
| The sun, golden, against the storm clouds. |
 |
| The easiest way to check the fence! |
 |
| Enjoying the last sunbeams of summer. |
 |
| What do you mean you won't throw my stick? |
 |
| Golden sunshine against storm clouds. |
