Recreation of some Ben Van Strawn artwork. Saw this guy drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect. However, I bumped into him and spilled his beef chowmein from Lee Ho Fook’s.
In the summer of 2016, the BLM Burns District continued its partnership with the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History and the Oregon Archaeological Society and conducted archaeological excavations at the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter site in southeastern Oregon.
The site, discovered in 2009 by BLM Archaeologist Scott Thomas, has hosted archaeology field schools since 2011. In 2015, it became internationally known after archaeologists found a small stone tool under a layer of volcanic ash from a volcanic eruption about 15,800 years ago.
This tool suggests one of the oldest known human occupations in the western United States.
The 2016 excavations encountered significant rock and boulder debris, resulting from at least two occasions of portions of the rock wall calving or breaking off – probably around 8,000 and 10,000 years ago. These rocks limited access to the ground beneath them, and many were removed only after drilling and splitting reduced them to removeable sizes.
In coordination with the BLM’s Scott Thomas, Dr. Patrick O’Grady with the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History directed excavations for the fifth year in 2016, and Jordan Pratt, graduate student at Texas A&M University, served as the excavation’s site supervisor. Volunteers from the Oregon Archaeological Society, students from the University of Oregon, and archaeologists from the BLM conducted the excavations.

I swear that even though this fellow was hitched to the corral, it seemed that he was drawing a line that I ought not cross... or he was bored to death for any activity. Imagine a pygmy donkey and pygmy doo behind! I wonder if there is pygmy methane. I just had to comment on the news article about Longmont's fracking ban. It seems to me we should not make a judgement about it just because it didn't work out for those citizens fracking for methane on planet Venus.
Not knowing that there was to be an "Event" out at the McIntosh/Lohr Agrigultural Museum, I headed out Sunday to grab a couple of fill-in photos for a set. Among the events was a sheep herding demonstration using an Australian sheep dog, another was hayseed rides for the folks. A couple of dandy Belgians hauled the hitch up. Over at the corrals were several animals for studying. The museum is probably under-utilized though. It would be great if the kids could see some of the horse drawn farming implements in use. This is also a great place for a weekend stroll and a sandwich with the kids. We took advantage of this day near McIntosh Lake Park at the ag museum from where we later accessed the lake loop. The entire path loops around the lake and is 3.5 miles. It looks like the day might be cut short. Lake Shore Drive is in town while the far west side is just out of town. The north lake pavilion area on Mariner Drive was packed with picnic goers and partiers on the week end. There was still plenty of space for the town folk to settle in for a spell. Boy, Longmonters sure use their parks!
I'm all about skies but this is an undefined sky. Lately, we have been sending more powerful storms to Nebraska and Kansas in the hopes that they might someday be able to wrap their minds around global warming. We just experienced the warmest May on record. Even orange man Boner is claiming that he is not a scientist. I believe what he says; he doesn't even understand the effects of loads of alcohol on the human body! Recently we have been graced with typical June skies, so I am trying to take advantage of them as I can. Today, the lighting is already getting soft. Today, served up more clouding and a promise of more 80s. We might be creeping up on 90s but they should be in August. More runoff could be a disaster and everyone has an eye on the streams. See if you can detect the climate changes around your locale. I am choosing to edit and I am spending extra time on the best of the captures considering today's skies. I was just in time to shoot on that day. The windmill might have some work to do later on. I scored some tripod shots out here some time ago but I am here for a walk with my camera with the monopod.
The farm/museum is part way between Largemont and Hygiene, Colorado on state highway #66. I created a Photo Set for the McIntosh/Lohr Agricultural Museum.
Thier is a Live Journal site called Hi res hotties that has a ton of hot girl pictures and a lot of them are great for desktops.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for trying to earn your approval with our achievements.
Draw us aside that we may be renewed by spending time in your presence.
Amen.
This is just terrible. I rarely get time to draw or do any "art" anymore. I am not complaining, my life has been very busy and fun mostly. Some challenges too. But I've been wanting to draw some Zentangles and I finally had time today and I think it is terrible. I did it without "strings" thinking it would be easier to be "free" with the patterns, and it is just ugly. All the ones I see online or in books are so beautiful and just flow together nicely.
it's snowing here. in may. that's going against nature. literally.
almost sooc.
if we believe it, we can breathe it. breathe it into life

Flickr friend Theresa getting the quick draw on me for a BNSF stack train that snuck up on us at McGirr Rd between Steward and Lee, IL. I could not get my camera out of the bag quick enough and barely got 3 shots off while standing at the car's door. This train screamed by us enroute to Rochelle just a few miles NW of this location.
