TRNP and flooding...

Was doing a little reminiscing about the Medora ND trip and chatting on facebook when the subject of flooding in the area came up.

I didn’t find too much by googling ND floods, just a mention of the Medora campground being closed and a few articles regarding ND towns.

Continued surfing and by luck I found this site with pictures. Note the dates on the site, Just about a week after we left.

Talk about good timing…Wow!!

Wild Mustangs of TRNP

A short while back ( May 12 - 17 ) I had the opportunity to join a group workshop put on by Outdoor Photo Workshops. It was a small group lead by Les Voorhis. When I say small I mean Les and three students. By the way TRNP stands for Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Google that for more info. We spent 4 days gettin up at 3:30am and heading in to the park to locate and photograph bands of wild mustangs. What can I say it was fantastic!! Great photo ops, learned how to use my long lens better and made new friends. It don't get no better n dat, as they say. The slideshow below is just a sample. If you want to see more go to :

Just in case you missed this....

A new year..thankfully the same old dog!

New Year's day and Whiskey has a new toy. Thus is the dog who has never bothered to play with toys. He even ignores his Harley-Davidson ball. Imagine that!


Just for grins I brought home a Crazy Critter fox. (As seen on TV) you know the rag doll kinda critter that has no stuffing, Well he freakin loves it. It has a squeaker in the head and one in the tail. The squeak drives him nuts. Correction: drove him nuts. It took all of 7 seconds for him to have disarmed those suckers. It may be quieter, but he still loves it.

Sometimes he gets distracted and forgets where he left it. He'll walk around the house looking for it till he finds it. If I'm in another room he'll join me and bring the critter with him.
Guess I'd have to say he's adjusted to his condition just fine.

A shot of Whiskey.....

Whiskey and I have both been recuperating over the last few weeks. He from his surgery and I from a seemingly never ending battle with the flu. Must say for a while there he was doing much better n me. But enough about me.

Many have been asking, How's that three legged dog doing? Well I thought a picture might help show his condition. It's not bad as it looks.. just a bad haircut. That's filling in pretty well too.

Aside from a routine dose of peanut butter and pain pills, his life is pretty well back to normal. Still has an occasional pain yelp. But other than that he's doing all his usual stuff. Likes playin in the new snow and then layin around the house napping.

He's a pretty independent guy and enjoys his crate for privacy. Yet every night when I turn in, he'll come up and lay next to my bed. He stays there till he's sure everythings Ok or my snoring drives away. I'm not sure yet which.
