It's spring and that means all the cows have to come home.  We gather them together off the winter ranges and bring them in.  The journey can be long.  
Picture
This is a large hard pan in the desert.  It is kind of neat to ride across.

We experienced all four seasons this day.   Coats on, coats off.  It was kind of fun.

You can see my horse is pretty wet and a little annoyed.

Wet cows.

 We have five herds in different places on the desert.

It is a lot of hours in the saddle to get all the cows home.

Picture
We have some wonderful scenery to enjoy along the way.

We stopped for lunch and my horse wandered to the water trough. She was thirsty I guess.
Picture
She found a little friend.

One white cow.

The calves get tired by the end of the day.
Picture
Sometimes the dogs get tired too.
Picture
The flowers are really starting to bloom on the desert.
Picture
I'm not sure I have ever seen a bright red cactus flower before.
Picture
Someone I know, (Ryan), called this a wild daisylion..  haha
Picture
It has been nice to be able to work with both of my boys this spring.

We're still at it.  I'm sure there will be many cow herding and branding pictures to come.

Great shots, love seeing the boys, so cute when Clays dog was riding with him! Love the long shots, you must have been on a hill but great shot of one guy and huge cattle herd. Flowers were great not sure I have seen red cactus flowers either, thats what you call stopping and smelling the roses!
