friendshipBarney and Rose Petal are best of friends even though there is a 1700 lb difference between them and she could walk right under his belly.  He lays down so she can scratch his back for him and she rests her head on his feet or neck when they are laying down resting.  So sweet to see.

daytimeI love this view.  I took it with my iphone 4s and zoomed in so it was quite pixelated so I did a Venice painting filter on it.  The colors are what I saw.  The field is canola.  I am sooooo allergic to it but it is so pretty.  I am glad the crop is almost done though.
