The Corral

Cattlemen are a big part of taking care of forest service land from what they tell me. First they pay a lot of money to have their stock on public lands, and second, they build the fences to keep them from wandering too far. When it comes to fences, these guys had built a pretty amazing structure. The cattle equivalent to the great wall.

One morning we were on our way down the mountain and the light was just beautiful, so I stopped at the gathering corrals and shot this series of photos.

I love this one below – it is more indicative of the light that I saw when I stopped to take these photos.

Photographically I’ll admit that flowers are the low hanging fruit. They are bright bits of color screaming for your visual attention with their flashy facades. What can I say? Occasionally I pick the low hanging fruit.
