These rather colourful cowboys are busy clipping the hooves of a donkey that has 'floundered' (sp?). Apparently, eating too much grass has caused its hooves to grow in a weird shape. Perhaps the equine equivalent of an ingrowing toe-nail?
The donkey was doing what comes naturally (eating grass), but since heavy rains have made the grass greener and richer than usual its all been a bit too 'munch
' for the poor ass.Still, it means the high plains have beautiful wildflowers still blooming and everything is looking lush. Normally it is just dried out yellow grassland. This is a field full of Indian Blankets.
The Zimmer ranch house was rebuilt 8 years ago after it was destroyed by wildfire.
The windmill tank is home to goldfish which feed off the algae and keep the water clear.
