This is an old Chevy truck parked out on some land my friend's dad leases and on which he runs a small cow/calf operation. Other than the peeling paint, the old truck looks to be in good shape, with most of the windows intact.

Whomping Willow
Not for sure what sort of tree this is, but it reminded me of the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter movies/books.
I want to go back down there at a different time of day and take some more photos; the sun was just too low on the horizon to get good detail.

Hay! (it's cheaper than corn)
A couple of the cows on my friend's place. They look to be some sort of Hereford-Charolais cross with maybe some Simmental in them, too.
The hay was in those huge round bales and my friend's dad has some "corrals" to put around the hay in order to keep the cattle (and horse) from trampling on it.His dad uses these corrals most of the time, but rolls out a bail now and then along the ground.
I commented on it, wondering why he was putting one bale in the enclosure, but putting another on the ground.
He said his pop does that because the little calves like to lie on the hay.
Out to Pasture
Went down to Miami to watch the Pro Bowl w/ my pal and we went to put out some hay for his dad's cows and their calves. This is his dad's old work horse, now retired. (as is his dad)
Friendly old thing, he let me rub on him and he sniffed out the sugar cube in my pocket.
He sure enjoyed the hay we put out for him. (and the cows and calves)

Happy Birthday, Alice & Clint!
No, Alice and Clint aren't my next-door neighbors.
"Alice & Clint" as in Cooper (born 1948) and Black (1962).
Two of my favorite performers having the same b-day, how cool is that?
I think they should do a duet together.
I can see the titles now:
"Put Yourself in My Coffin", "A Better Ghoul" and "When I Said I'd Kill You".
Alice Cooper could bite the head off of a chicken while Clint played the harmonica.
