Over the weekend I helped a friend move some mementos.  The acreage she called home before she married has been sold. Some Buddhists bought it and will be tearing down all the buildings in the coming year.

While she explored the stable and sheds for her stuff (and old memories), I took a few photos.

These were all taken with the Canon PowerShot G15 and edited with Nik and Photoshop software.

Liz

 Liz is a sweet eleven year old hound dog cross.  Nothing says rural better than an old hound dog exploring tall prairie grass.

Liz by the stable

trapped

 A pigeon freaks out and tries to escape the old horse stable.  It eventually got out.

Charlie

Charlie, a thirteen year old mix-breed, is extreme protective.  She pretty much barked the whole time we were there.  After a while everyone just ignores her.
