With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, Little Joe does his own version of topsy turvy.
What: Last December I took a basket of Christmas decorations out to the corral to see if I could get some shots for a Christmas blog. Those curious colts came through. Before one can decorate the items need a bit of topsy turvy assist from Little Joe. To see the rest of the photos and read the blog: She Wants Us to do What?

Off Topic: Update on the house remodel:
Furniture and other items has been moved out of the house and the
repair work will begin as soon as the contractor gets the OK from the
insurance company. Farmers' Insurance has sure been good to work with
us. It is still hard to believe how much water got into the house from a
small split in the ice maker hose while we were on vacation. | Just a Rockin' Heart Ranch Saying | for everyone |

| A Rockin' Heart Ranch Version of "The Rounders" | for everyone |
Cee Bucks Bottom aka Buck
stars as the strawberry roan bronc in the movie:
"The Rounders"
A favorite movie of mine staring that old strawberry roan horse with the help of Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda. Light hearted, I laugh each time I see this movie on TV. Information about the movie from Wikipedia just in case you have never seen it:
The Rounders (1965 film)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rounders is a lighthearted 1965 film starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda. It was based on the novel of the same name by Max Evans.Ben Jones (Glenn Ford) and Marion 'Howdy' Lewis (Henry Fonda) are two easygoing, modern-day cowboys who make a meager living breaking wild horses. Their frequent employer is Jim Ed Love (Chill Wills), a shrewd businessman who always gets the better of them. After they bring him a string of tamed horses, he talks them into taking a nondescript horse in lieu of some of their wages.
Ben finds (to his great and frequent discomfort) that the horse is unrideable. Rather than turning it into dog food, he comes up with the bright idea of taking it to a rodeo and betting other cowhands they cannot ride it. Along the way, the duo stop to help two none-too-bright strippers, Mary (Sue Ane Langdon) and Sister (Hope Holiday), with their car, which has broken down. Not knowing much about cars, they give them a ride to the nearest garage, but end up getting to know them better (going skinny dipping with them) and taking them along to the rodeo.
Everything goes as planned; nobody is able to stay on the horse. Then the animal suddenly collapses and Ben very reluctantly spends all the money they've won for veterinary help. In the end, Ben and Howdy end up right back where they started, with only the horse to show for their efforts.

| A Rockin' Heart Ranch Urban Decay | for everyone |
Week Three
Urban Decay
Urban decay
is the process whereby a previously functioning city, or part of a
city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude. It may feature
de-industrialization, depopulation, or changing population, economic
restructuring, abandoned buildings, high local unemployment, fragmented
families, political disenfranchisement, crime, and a desolate,
inhospitable city landscape which gives the photographer ample
opportunity for one of a kind photos.
Urban Decay of an American Old West Town
All
along this creek in the Valle Vidal Unit of the Carson National Forest
in New Mexico are the remains of a once functioning community that fell
into disrepair and decrepitude. De-industrialization of the mining,
logging, and the railroad led to the depopulation of the area to zero.
Abandoned buildings made of logs and other natural materials have
gradually decayed or mostly destroyed by forest fires. Often one has to
look hard to see where the railroad once ran along Ponil Creek and
other areas of the now Carson National Forest. Rocks in an un-natural
position that outlines the shape of buildings or depressions in the
earth that once were dug outs or mines. Sometimes just a single chimney
remains. Look careful and you can follow old wagon roads that led to
logging areas or mines.
My entry for Urban Decay
is a cook stove that has partially survived the elements. I wonder how
many and what meals were cooked on this wood cook stove. How big
(rather how small) was the cabin where it once stood? If this stove
could talk, it would be a lesson in history of the region.
When & what:
June 23, 2008 while I was riding Chuck with my husband and two other
friends. According to history books of this region, this was once a
prosperous community.

Position
is everything when riding a horse. This photo was taken while we were
trail riding in the Carson National Forest (New Mexico). Notice that
Russ on his horse Colt is below me and going down hill. He had to zig
zag through rocks and dead fall. When going down a steep incline the
rider pretends he is a tree and positions himself as the trees grow. In
this case, as the dead burned tree once grew.

Our host this week Mannu aka goofygreeneyes has chosen this week's theme:
In our day to day lives, we come across an amazing array of things that come in two's . We are so used to seeing them together , that their natural compatibility escapes our eye . Familiar or unfamiliar , common or unique only to your culture, capturing these two's that come as one and sharing it with us, is what this weeks theme is all about . Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another.
Jake and Colt are maternal half brothers. Jake 16 years old and Colt 7 years old. Horses are herd animals and the herd instinct is strong among the equine species. This can be an aggravation when riding. Get out of site and that nicker, where are you little brother is sounded! But Jake buddies on his own terms. Head back towards camp or home and he could care less where little brother is. In this photo the brothers appeared to be asking one another "Do you want to go that way? I don't want to go that way!"

| A Vibrant Rockin' Heart Ranch | for everyone |
Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another. Our vibrant host this week is Heather.
According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Vibrant vibrant is defined as:
Vigorous, Energetic, Vital, as a Vibrant personality
"Mr. Vibrant Personality"
From
the day he was born til the present. Doc has exhibited his vibrant
personality. Pick me first has always been his motto. Push the other
colt out of the way to get all the attention from visitors. Even his
trainer calls Doc his buddy and at the trainer's place, Doc has even
charmed the dog. Doc is the only horse in the barn the dog plays with.
In this photo there is no one around for Doc to charm so he is
entertaining himself by playing with a stick in the water. Doc is the
first foal for me to raise so I guess you could say he holds a special
place in my heart too. A pleasure to be around and always wanting to
please -- well most of the time.

I'm a summer person, don't like cold weather. What better way to start the summer than trail riding at the Pole Canyon Ranch with my husband. I took this photo late in the afternoon.
photo was taken last week with my Canon point and shoot, I was riding my horse when I took the picture. The ranch where this was taken is : www.polecanyon.com We were scouting the trails as we were to lead one of the trail rides for the Panhandle Trail Riders Association over the Memorial Weekend.

| Rockin' Heart Ranch: Under "Lynda's Nose" | for everyone |
Picture Perfect "Under Your Nose" Theme
It's no secrete that I enjoy activities with our horses. My favorite is trail riding on my horse Jake, with my husband and his horse Colt in the mountains of NE New Mexico.
After one of our trips last summer I did this photo album on Multiply: Jake the Pack Horse -- No, My Saddle Horse Since most of what is on Jake is right under my nose, I thought that would be what I posted for this week's Picture Perfect. I know that most of you are not familiar with equestrian activities, so below the photo is a list of what I see when I look down while riding Jake on an all day trail ride. The small photo in the upper left hand corner is a side view of me on my horse Jake in the mountains (taken by my husband, once in the while I do let him have the camera for a few minutes).
1. Easy Boot. This is a rubber boot for the horse in case he looses a shoe.
2. Small cordova bags to hold extra batteries, hard candy mints, and other small items that might be needed for the day and in easy reach. These Velcro to the breast collar.
3. GPS to keep tract of where we have ridden
4. Lead rope that can be attached to the halter that the horse wears under the bridle.
5. Reins that are attached to the bit
6. The saddle
7. Saddle pad
8. My chinks to protect my legs
9. The breast collar straps
10. And of course my horse Jake
If you would like to know what else Jake carries on these trail rides click on the album mentioned above.
When and where: The photo of me on the horse: 8.1.09 and the close up of under my nose: 8.25.09 Both photos taken in the mountains of NE New Mexico. The entry photo was taken in camp before we left for that day's ride.

| Bestest Cuisine, Bobcat Pass Style | for everyone |
Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another.
Cuisine
(from French "cooking; culinary art; kitchen"; ultimately from Latin
coquere, "to cook") is a specific set of cooking traditions and
practices, often associated with a specific culture. It is often named
after the region or place where its underlining culture is present. A
cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available
locally or through trade. Religious food laws can also exercise a strong
influence on cuisine. A traditional cuisine is a coherent tradition of food preparation that rises from the daily lives and kitchens of a people over an extended period of time in a specific region of a country and which has notable distinctions from the cuisine of the country as a whole. Our host this week is Heather
oOo
Bobcat Pass Cuisine
"the Bestest Cuisine"
The bestest cusine ever is
a surprise catered meal presented by wonderful friends while camping in
the mountains of New Mexico. The Bobcat Pass Wilderness Adventures
guys showed up in our camp 8/29/09. We were tired. We had ridden 17
GPS miles (does not account for ups and downs of the terrain) that day
and were resting in the living quarters of our horse trailer when we
heard honking outside. Our friends from near Red River, New Mexico
arrived and quickly started unloading their cooking supplies and food
(trimmings from rib eye steaks that they use for their Cowboy Evenings
at Bobcat Pass). The link to their great meals and entertainment. http://www.bobcatpass.com/ They traveled over 60 mountain road miles to bring us this wonderful surprise meal.
All
we had to do was enjoy their friendship and a wonderful cooked to
perfection meal of Rib Eye Steak trimmings with peppers, onions, and
seasoning cooked in the propane powered Disco followed by fried potatoes
with onions and seasoning. Tortillas and chips, sauces, and they even
brought the drinks. I had frozen home made oatmeal chocolate chip
cookie dough in the trailer freezer. Dutch oven king sized cookies for
dessert.
The
photo is Vance and his youngest son Tate cooking the potatoes and
onions in the Disco. My horse Jake and Colt are in the back ground and
had just finished their own cuisine
of pelleted feed and coastal hay but Jake seems to think he is missing
out on something better. Jake is a beggar and will try most anything,
especially if it is sweet. And yes I did share part of my homemade
oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with him.
Here
is a link to the blog on my site about that day. Lots of photos of
where we rode and the surprise arrival of our friends:

I
had planned to use the above photo of the 2009 New Years Eve Blue Moon
and then put horses along the creek that I had photographed earlier that
day but couldn't pass up what happened this afternoon. I was watching
the trainer ride one of our colts at his place while my husband plowed
one of his outdoor arenas.
Suddenly
Andy got off Doc and handed me the reins. Said there was a bull with
his head through the pipe fence. Andy worked for a long time before he
got just the right twist in the bull's head to fit back through the
fence. For awhile Andy thought he was going to have cut the pipe to
release the bull.

"A Bull's Way of Thinking"
http://dictionary.reference.com/ has several definitions of the word Simple. I am using more than one of the definitions for my photo this week.
Bull's way of thinking from definition # 14: lacking mental acuteness or sense: a simple way of thinking
Bull says, "I am not moving, I am quite content with where I am, just go away and leave me alone!."
Cowboy's way of thinking from definition # 1: easy to understand, deal with, use, etc.: a simple matter; simple tools. says "Go ahead and stay just where you are and be a bear, a mountain lion, or a wolf pack meal when the winter snows falls."
What really happened using # 2 definition: not elaborate or artificial; plain: a simple style. The
cowboy leaves the bull where he is at, knowing others will be coming
this way later with a herd of cows. Thus the bull changes his simple
mind after the herd of cows arrives which is definition #6: not complex or compound

These photos had been scanned into my files. Duplicated and adjusted
just slightly on Photoshop Elements 8.0 and then framed with a mirror
frame on Picnic. Opened back into Photoshop and the collage with
text made and the watermark brand added. I did the collage since it was
not competition mode so you could see a close up of Spike the raccoon
and the antlers on Whiz plus my daughter Sherry.
My entry is the bottom photo in the collage.
Whiz and Spike were hers. Whiz is a 1980 gelding by the registered name of Dandy Prescription (http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/dandy+prescription2)
who is still alive and well at Sherry's place. Spike and his sister
