I got to be a cowgirl last week at The High Lonesome Ranch in western Colorado, something I've wanted to do since I was about five. Finally, I made it to the high desert country just like what I remember from re-runs of High Chaparral or Bonanza, only those were filmed in Arizona and Nevada, respectively. But I wore the same boots, tan vest, leather chaps, and a big, old cowboy hat every day just like the Cartwrights... who also never changed clothes. With no cell service and Internet, I even stopped wearing my watch, which was two hours off. Anyway, who needs to know the time when you're slouched in the saddle bumping along on your horse with electric blue skies ahead and dinner at the end of the trail.... more ramblings to come. But first I gotta get these boots off !

Is this place at your command ?
Can I stay here for awhile, can I see your sweet, sweet smile.
Excellent shots Wendy! Enjoyed all of them. Thanks, Chris Pipes
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. That leaves me wishing for more. I wish I could see as far into the wild distance from my front door as I could when I was at the ranch. And feel a bit of chill in the June air. There's none of that back home. A definite lack of grand scenery and cool weather here.
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteVery nice to meet you at High Lonesome. Really wonderful photos. Thank you for sharing. All the best.
