Wide open spaces

The novelty of these wide open, tree-free spaces is not wearing off yet, so please bear with me. 
I can't help myself from shooting the new views. 

I tried to take some before-and-after-the-Hydro-Ax shots, but I was driving myself nuts 
trying to line up trees and focal lengths and latitudes and altitudes. 
Screw it, I said. I'll just take a few pretty pictures.

    I like Pretty Pictures, and these are Really Pretty Pictures. I can just about smell Smooch's neck fur.

    Now those sneaky pronghorn will not be able to sneak up on the boys and Lucy. How many acres do you have, Linda?

    I felt that way when we had our pasture cleared of the same cedars/junipers. Suddenly we had so much more land!

    Hank certainly looks happy with the view and the additional room to run.

    You must be so pleased. I'd be out there too, with a big grin on my face. Love the light in these pictures.

    I never get tired of getting pictures of the doin's at the 7MSN so fire away! I can see a lot of trees around though -- are those off your property? And what's your plan about the cholla? Not that I'm nosy or anything!!! The open space is gorgeous.

    okay, I still want a before picture comparison. You know I'm your demanding fan.

    So how did they decide which trees to leave? is there a # per acre? Cuz it looks like there are still several and I don't quite understand the logic.

    And does Lucy have a grass belly or are you just using one of those cameras that make one look fat?

    I hate those cameras. :)

    come on, tell the truth, did you stage that last photo? I feel pretty sure that you posed each one and that they stayed that way for you b/c they are so obedient :)

    great shots as always, and as long as you aren't tired of taking pictures, we aren't tired of looking at them; b/c frankly the view out my suburban window ain't much to look at!
