This is the view from my office building on day last week. Sunset looking over the Arkansas River as it winds its way down from Kansas through northeast Oklahoma.
A cattle herd in western Oklahoma, taken by my wife’s cousin’s wife Cheri Lou at her family ranch in Washita County, Oklahoma. Cheri Lou takes pics, I edit them and post them on Instagram. We make a great team. I love the donkey in the middle of the cows. The purpose of the donkeys, besides providing comic relief, is to protect the herd from coyotes. I give the cows names that Cheri Lou doesn’t appreciate. Names like Little Brisket, Rib Eye, McDonald, Wendy, Burger King, and Chuck (roast). It’s all in fun, don’t report me to PETA okay. Honestly, do people think these cows are going to die of old age.
Great images Yogi. In western Oklahoma you don’t need a weather man because you can see tomorrow coming.
A gorgeous sky shot!
Awesome sky shot ~ beautiful colors ~ and wonderful cattle shot your wife’s cousin took too.
Happy Weekend to you,

Love the first one! The colors are gorgeous
Beautiful view of the sky.
I would never think donkeys stand a chance with coyotes, I was wrong.
Worth a Thousand Words
I’m intrigued- how does the donkey keep away the coyotes? I loved the sky from your office window .
Beautiful sunset. Oh! I didn’t know that a donkey can protect the cows from coyotes. That is wonderful!
Alan,
I love a gorgeous evening sunset! Oh, I like the photo of the cattle grazing in the earthy tones of that open field with such a beautiful blue sky over head. Your wife’s cousin did a nice job! I hope you and your family have a joyful, blessed Thanksgiving, my friend!
Here’s my SWF contribution!
I love how you and your wife’s cousin make a photo team – so sweet! and I would have never thought that a donkey can protect the herd from coyotes.
Your office window provides a wonderful Skywatch shot !
You have a nice view from your office. It’s beautiful capture!
LOL about your cow names!! Just curious… how does the donkey protect the cows from coyotes? Enjoy your weekend!
Amazing skyview. Loved the post.
Happy Weekend.
Yogi, what a wonderful sunset from your office window. Happy Thanksgiving!
I could ALMOST go back to work if that was the view from my office … I busted a gut with your names of the cows – well done!
