Time and Age


I have been participating in Flickr group Shades of Inspiration for about a year.

Each week a new subject matter is posted and each member posts their interpretation of the theme.
Some weeks the themes is simple such as a color or an object. The more challenging weeks the subject is more abstract.


This week the subject is Time and Age.

While at work yesterday (I always laugh when I call it work because I love what I do) let's change that ...while I was at the farm yesterday I realized I was surrounded by

Time and Age


The Blacksmith profession has changed very little over hundreds of years.


The modern computer age can't replace the Farrier and I don't imagine it will change much in the next several hundred years.


Time and Age



The oldest member of our Brood Mare Band

Miss CC Wilson

Her first born, Captains Choice, just won the NCHA Eastern Nationals, Congratulations Captain!

She is 21 years young and still possesses all the fire she did in her younger years. Still a handful and I am sure time won't change that.

Time and Age




The pot belly stove that sits in my office. Time has changed this...yes it is nice to just turn up the thermostat and have instant heat but the "glamour" of heat is gone.


Time and Age




A Draft Horse Harness that now purposes as a mirror. Time and the tractor have taken over most of the work of the Draft Horse but it still nice to reflect on the past.

Time and Age




A Longhorn skull stands guard over the breezeway from my office to the barn.

It reminds me of the true cowboys of the past that are the foundation of Cutting, the horses that we raise and compete with are Cutting Horses.

Time and Age

The more things change the more they stay the same???

Thanks for visiting!

Too cool Kelley.
Are you hiring? I mean even if you don't have a position open, could I at least be the clean up lady?
It looks so peaceful and dreamy in the barn...I would love to spend my days there!!!
You are so lucky. I'm so jealous.

Wonderful post! I prefer many of the old ways but do enjoy some of today's modern conveniences too. I enjoyed viewing your pictures and the wonderful words that accompanied them:)

Blessings,

Kim

I love this post, Kelley! Great time and age thoughts and photos. I have not had much time for our Shades group lately and it makes me sad. I'm hoping to change that as school winds down. I took on too much this year. Time to fix that!
