Since I've been in real estate, and especially since I started blogging, I have found that I really enjoy taking pictures of my community, events, and of course, of our listings. And, over the past two years, I have accumulated quite a collection of local photos on my computer which have been extremely useful for our … (141 comments)

Parents dream that their children will one day become a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut, a fireman, a nurse, or many other great professions. Well, our daughter Kelsey may still become many of those things as she has her whole life ahead of her.

photography: It's Lovely I'll Take It - Hilarious Pictures from the MLS - 09/11/08 05:01 PM

Every year, the National Bison Range rounds up all of the buffalo in the park to give innoculations, check health status, and to select buffalo to thin the heard. This year's event is scheduled for October 9-10, 2007.
If you're in the area, this is a must-see event. You get the opportunity to get up close to the buffalo, watch the cowboys & cowgirls herd the buffalo into the shoots, and learn about the conservation efforts at the Bison Range.
The National Bison Range is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. … (5 comments)
