what art consists of these days...

although a bit of an odd exhibit at the boulder museum of modern art...i absolutely loved this lighted coke bottle and @ sign...the coke bottle had a rotating mechanism inside that made the light shift and was just really cool! altogether the exhibit was just bizarre but i liked it and the concept behind it...how in such an oversaturated information age, the way we process and incorporate all of the imagery we encounter into our mental maps and patterns related to that... it was a whole upper section of the museum with several sections and structural creations using tons of random repurposed materials...

super thought provoking:)

Improvisation at its best!

managing 300 goats is a lot of work! been helping lou with fencing and watering the goats... the fences are pretty damn cool...super light wieght fence that rolls up and out without yo much hassle. its the hammering of all the posts that takes the hard work especially along the slopes of the damn face!

also been learning how to use water pumps and how to trailer with the 400 gallon water tank. each goat drinks about a gallon a day...

Taquito...Head of the herd:)

been working with goats and lou the goat lady this week. the herd is being used to control diffuse knapweed out by boulder reservoir...herd of ~ 300 goats along the dam faces where we can't mow and would take ages to weed whack! also 4 dogs to help herd them:)

Remake Poker Face Marine Style lady Gaga

holy freakin cow... these are crackin me up! needed a good laugh:)

uh...so on a more serious note, this is so refreshing to see and be reminded that when our young adults are going to war, they are not leaving behind the culture the are from, that they are still young men (and a few women) that still wanna have a good time, and are finding ways to entertain themselves in possibly not so ideal situations! HOORAY!

delicious summer meal!

got the idea from a menu card at sunflower market...tillapia over spinach with grapefruit avacado topping...mmm mmm good! in the glass, not near as yummy but super healthy...and i had to try it once...it was in a menu book a friend of mine gave me...raw celery soup...very interesting...wont make it again though!

sad day for this bird...

clotheslined himself...a harrier fledgling about a month old. one of the only nesting/ breeding harriers in CO...makes it even more sad. He flew right into a telephone wire, snapping his neck:( But there are two more fledglings that are still alive and well.

a little afternoon SPUNK:)

took a break from company for a little "mary time"...much needed respite from constant interaction! hit up the farmers market, arts & crafts fair and ended up nestled away under an umbrella in the rib house beer garden for a lil journal time, live music, and of course some brewskies to keep me cool and refreshed ib0n the summer heat!

ps...band name is spunk or thunk...not quite sure...:)

morning bird survey was kinda slow...

allowing me the time to draw this little cartoon thats been in my head since my big boss man made the joke about the prairie dogs climbing the fence with harness and all:) funny enough...a prairie dog was actually observed climbing the dog park fence (sans rope of course) urging our crew to do passive relocation to keep them out and close the burrows theyd made inside the dog park...silly prairie dogs:)

delightful surprise:)

hard physical day at work! but there are still little rewarding suprises...like this mallard nest one of the jail crew pointed out with such concern...suggesting we flag it and super enthusiastic about it raising a family soon. makes me wonder about why hes locked up...

also saw a horned owl flying about being chased by a mischevious crow....oh nature:)
