Looks like a tough group to me...maybe a group of outlaws? Or maybe just some fishermen protecting their secret spot...
The guy on the gray horse has a bit of twine through the horse's mouth and that's it - and possibly the same on the horse to the right as well. The two horses probably pulled the wagon (behind the kneeling group) up to that spot. Most all of the group is holding guns, but there are a few fishing rods in there as well. Looks a little dry to be fishing...
This photo has to be one of my favorites. I can feel and hear the breeze blowing through those trees and rustling through the tall grass, the birds chirping, insects humming. It's not too hot yet, so a good time to go fishing and to be in a beautiful place.
I love this photo because the man on the far right looks like he is wearing his Sunday best. A refined gentleman in his fancy hat out for a ride, accompanied by a group of friends and some ladies in their fine hats and big smiles.
This is Alice Esther Hardy - daughter of Lucille Hunewill. She is wearing a riding habit that belonged to her grandmother, Alice Hunewill - and looking rather dashing, don't you think?
And lastly, even though it is July, a little reminder that winter always comes and with it, the snow. This picture is also one of my favorites because it shows what all of us who have livestock know: that there are always things to be done on the ranch and that the livestock need care (or other jobs need to be done) even in the worst of weather. There are no 9 to 5 days here, we do what needs to get done, however long it takes, rain, snow, sleet, or shine.
Hope you enjoyed the latest from the archives!
