1. High country springtime Muddy trucks on rutted roads Daffodils in snow. 2. Dirt road rooster dust One who loves you is in sight Buckaroo love note. 3. Ranch gals at Wal-Mart Crew cab with groceries and kids Saturday in town. 4. Men lean against trucks The cowdog seems to listen The sun warms their backs. 5. Labor Day weekend Pickups headed to Elko The haying is done. 6. High country autumn Deer lying in pickup beds Covered in white cloth. |
