You can talk about moving to the mountains until the cows come home....

Livermore Colorado cattle drive

Cowboy in Glacier View Meadows Sub Livermore COThe aspen are turning a beautiful shade of gold and the ranchers are moving their cattle from the summer high pasture down the road back home.

Yesterday morning I saw only one driver trying to make his way past the bovine traffic jam(sometimes they cause a small slow down in your morning commute)

but look at it this way,

it's the only reason for a traffic jam and it only happens twice a year.

You can talk about getting out of your city traffic jams and

You can talk about moving to the mountains ‘til the cows come home..............

but guess what? 

They're already home.

Hi Myrl, a T-Bone train? LOL  Thank you Myrl, it reminds me of the Old West too! For the ranchers it is just work but seeing it makes me smile everytime.

Mary, I love it!  And what a great excuse for a traffic jam!  Even a type-A like me would enjoy slowing down for these fellows.

Mary, your rustic and tranquil settings make me want to get there before the snows hit. Very good images with the sunlight and terrific story.... extremely appealing...

I came here early on.  But, must have gotten side-tracked by something.  Sorry.  Loved the photographs.  Kind of got lost in the moment when looking at them.  I would love to be out there especially in the fall....the best season for color. 

Thanks, Mary.

Hi Tony and Darcy,  I hope you enjoy your cattle drives, too :-) Thanks for coming by.

 

Hi Pat, I was a type A when I first moved here - they drove me nuts at first.  Then I learned to slow down and enjoy the wait! LOL  Thanks Pat, I'm glad you stopped by.

 

Hi Steve, business is definitely a consideration ...darn it anyway! :-) Thanks Steve, I appreciate your thoughts on it.

 

Hi Linda, Even though the cows move pretty slowly, I had to hurry to get those shots before they turned out of sight! Thanks for stopping by and reminding those buyers to ask for me! :-)

 

Hi Gary, It has been fairly warm here, I don't know when we'll see snow!  But you should leave now, just in case :-) ! Thanks Gary, look forward to seeing you!

 

Thanks Suzanne, I find myself doing that a lot lately -stopping by posts and then getting sidetracked.  I appreciate you coming back Suzanne- have a super day!

 

Thank you Karen, I'm glad you stopped in to take a look.  I appreciate that!
