AHHH spring time in the country !!! Nothing like it !!!
Eggggggggselant Pics !!!!!!

thankyuh, thanktuhverymuch, stimpy, i mean zippyt:D :beer:

(stay tuned. more to come!)

next time i go out there (maybe this weekend) i'm going to take some pictures of the right wall of the dog trot. bruce will have a field day with these tools/doodads!

here's one of a wagon that was on our property when we bought back in '84. it was almost not restorable but we managed....

Wow! Great pics - esp the early morning ones.

I think there is a ghost milling about in the "sunrise at 6:45 or so" photo. And why is the lead (the arm between the trailer and hitch since I'm sure I used the wrong word) so long on the trailer ?

The sunrise in the barn shot is an award winner if you ask me.

that's just the length we made it. not sure why (or can't remember) but you can hook it up to the jeep and get yourself one bumpy ride though! it rests there for looks now.

If it's an oxcart, the beam can be hooked to the yoke, which is way up at the front of the ox.

If you're going to hitch a team of horses to the cart, the tongue goes into a thingy in between the collars.

No, that only works with an oxbow. With horses the tongue would be attached to a triple tree. The first tree (crossbar) hooks to the tongue from the middle and each end hooks to the center of another tree. The second and third trees hook to the horse collars with traces (straps/chains) so that it pulls evenly on both sides of the collars. The purpose of the triple tree is to put an even load on each horse even though they aren't exactly side by side. A 40 mule team would use 20 triple trees. :)

For somereason I keep thinking: Everything's better with bluebonnets on its.

Bwahahahahahaha.:D

Bruce, I love that youre just old enough to get that.:)

another pic of the wagon with a front view of the house.....

But too old to get much else.;)

I am from Texas, and here in South Texas there aren't that many "worth taking" pictures....I have a few pictures that i took near San Antonio ( i will post them later since I am not at home)...they are some wonderful pictures of the sunset behind the hills....they are awesome....

The ones that "plthijinx" posted are awesome pictures...thanks..

thanks on the pics. there is always something to take pictures of. good ones at that! i've only been doing this for a short period but it all has to do with your photogenic "eye". get creative, like early morning moister on a prickly pear cactus with a spider web. get the sun just right in the picture and you've got it......look at the small stuff. that's what i do anyway....

Don't forget the neighbor's teenage daughter skinny dipping in the backyard.:)

another thing you can do, qtpatootie14, is check out DPChallenge and get some pretty good ideas there to. not to mention, the pics there are extraordinary!

Excellent link.:thumb:
