Friday, after work...Aaaahhh.
Driving home, into the hills, this is looking down to the lower slopes and pastures of the South Carrick Hills, south side of the Girvan Valley.
It was a beautifully sunny, winter’s day, and this view always makes me feel happy. I love going home...especially on a Friday evening!

“Heaven isn’t so far away as people say;
I got a Home, high in my heart...
...That’s where the heart can rest;
The best is there,
And only a fool would leave it.
I’m going home.”

A wonderful farm pasture with a fence to keep the cattle in!
Happy Fence Friday -- and have a great weekend too!
Because of the forthcoming snow. all fences cables are remouved and downed to the soil, everywhere on mountain slopes. The reason is that the snow mantle (like glaciers) is not static, but slips down very slowly and the weigth of a one to two meters snow mantle is great enough to destroy any fence. So, the snow slips down between the stacks, without breaking them.
These downed fences during winter are also a nice occurence for skimountaineering.

In this scene from the Driftless area of Western Wisconsin, it almost appears that the frozen darkness of an approaching Winter is reaching up in an attempt to surrender the bright colorful splendor of Autumn.
I consider myself lucky to have lived my entire life in an area of the world where there are four distinct seasons – And although each is beautiful in its own unique way, time and time again my thoughts and memories always seem to take me back to the beauty of October, with the yearly anticipation of its arrival, and regrets upon its imminent departure. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Thirteen-lined ground squirrels were another common sight on the family farm years ago. They grazed on grass right alongside the cattle out on the pastures - probably why we called them pasture pegs. This one is showing that classic peg-like stance.
Yesterday went out looking for birds, but what was found was sheep enjoying a leisurely morning on lush, green, October grass.
Spring is approaching and sunny days are increasing. Mt.Chokai was clearly visible again this day.
Here is Okuyama pasture land. There were many tracks where snowmobiles had run. I came here on foot with snowshoes.
春が近づいてきて、晴れの日が増えてきました。今日も鳥海山がはっきりと見えました。
ここは奥山放牧場。たくさんのスノーモービルの走った跡がありました。そして、途中で何台か、爆音を上げながら走り去って行きました。自分はスノーシューで歩いてここまできました。
