    That’s a picture from a cellphone?! Holy yowza!

    It’s probably the photographer’s magic touch ;)

    just goes to show it’s never the camera, always the photographer.

    I hear glorious Copeland in my head. I suspect he will provide most of the soundtrack as I follow your summer adventure on the mountain. xo/b

    Shreve, I was bragging about you this past week! I am so jealous that you have the freedom you have! Your summer home is simply beautiful! Paul and I are coming to S. Dakota in 3 weeks! I will get to experience a small part of your life!! Tina

    tina – you MUST stop in at the Horseshoe Bar in Interior SD if you’re going to the Badlands – and tell Greg (the owner) HI from me!

    WOW! That’s awesome for a cell phone picture.
    Even when I did have a cell phone, it never took pictures that were that good. ^^

    A cell phone picture? Holy cow, that is amazing! I need whatever phone you have. :)

    Wow. I hope you take lots more pics. I bet it’s quiet too.

    true, but it would certainly be hard to make that scene look less than perfect on any image-making device!

    Hmmmm, well mayyybeeee you could keep it intact after your return but ONLY for mobile pictures. I think I need some therapy for my feelings about cell phones OR maybe everyone else does.

    Re your farmily tree, that’s quite a group you have going. I didn’t realize that Daisy had Jersey in her, that’s my favorite breed because of their huge gentle brown eyes.

    You mean you don’t take all your photos on your cell phone? What other device is there?

    ;)

    Enjoy the summer!

    just beautiful. what a wonderful place to wake up too :) Tina: not sure what part of S.D you are headed but near the Wyoming/South Dakota border by Sundance, Wyoming there is a place call ‘CEment Ridge’. it is a historic Fire Tower. The roads are Forest Roads but clearly marked-The road up to tower is just dirt but dry and passable this time of year. Once up there, you have a 360 view of Wyoming and S.D
    shreve, thank you for sharing your adventures with us
    peace

    So gorgeous and peaceful. I’m going to stare at it all day and pretend I’m there instead of sitting here at my crappy desk at my crappy job… LOL Sorry. I was feeling crabby until I looked at the pic :D

    yes, it’s beyond gorgeous!
    but what i can’t help but wonder, is how you find everyone in all that open space at the end of the season.

    If you hadn’t have said it was a cellphone I never would have known.

    Funny, when you said up to the mountains, I expected trees.

    If the picture is this glorious, I can only imagine the reality to be beyond words.
    Good lord, I am envious…
    Will be eagerly waiting to hear of your experiences and your observations and interpretations of life up there!

    I also thought of the Windows background when I saw this. Great picture for a cell phone, thanks for sharing with us.

    Shreve, I thought only us Canadians say ‘eh’. We are known for that, brought me a chuckle. Gorgeous picture.

    Gee, I don’t know how you will survive all that beauty. LOL I loved your response to the ‘is it and Iphone’ question. :) Have fun. I am melting in Mississippi heatwave ’11.

    Shreve~
    I love it! I just got back from a 2 week trip. I drove from Arizona to Rapid City SD, then to Williston ND, then to Harvey ND, then to Spokane Washington, and then back home to Arizona! I drove a little way into Wyoming on the way and I thought about you and Charlie and the whole farmily. Enjoy your summer! :) I can’t wait to see more pictures and hear more about it.

    I’d love to be standing in your shoes. Peace it is. I have to thank you for keeping your websites up in your new surroundings. Charlie and the farmily bring joy to my day!

    Been thinking of you with all those severe storm warnings out and about… Get any rain/hail? Lightning cracking your eardrums up there? ;-)

    I have wondered the same thing, glad you’re safe. Here in the metro Denver area, we have had severe thunderstorms almost every night this week, and last night’s included a little hail. The monsoons came early this year, they say!

    OT but Fiona really reminds me of the Angus heifer my father gave me for Christmas when I was ten. I was then obsessed with Flicka so thus she was named and by the time I was done with her she was a pocket pet LOL…really miss her.

    Awesome! I drove cross-country with a friend in early May and was very surprised at the high quality pictures my cellphone took, as well.
