25 December was a pretty day here in SW Oklahoma, but very cold with a biting wind. We drove to the Wichita Mountains, and to the top of Mount Scott, about an hour from home. (Left: Casey The Dog - we kept an eye on her just before Christmas while husband's son and family went to ski in Colorado. She tried to make friends with Clarence, my Christmas Crinkle, but he was having none of it.)
First 4 photos from top Mt. Scott, and on the way down - I took them from the car window, too wimpish to get out into the even more biting wind up there. We then drove through the Wildlife Refuge, but buffalo and longhorn cattle were hiding from us this time. We saw not one sign of life there, so repaired to a little lake in the nearby town. Ate our sandwiches with ducks, goose and gulls looking on.

Two pics of wee Serenity at the family get-together on Christmas Eve follow, the second is from camera of husband's daughter. Serenity is my husband's great-grandaughter, born January 2010.
And Casey - again.
AND an inherited flair for hat-wearing: Great-grandad and Serenity

OMG T but that little face is adorable! And what a gorgeous name!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had your picnic and Casey was a bonus to your holiday time!
I hope you took lots of pics of the 4generations. I regret not taking more when I had the chance.

I meant say also, T, but doesn't she have a great look of Himself?

WWW ~~~~ She's a real sweetie, yes!
ReplyDeleteSeveral keen photographers in the family, so I'm sure a 4-generation pic will emerge sooner or later - it was all a bit busy-busy on Friday evening to get into that sort of thing. ;-)
Hmmmm - Serenity and himself? I can't honestly say I'd noted that, WWW, but she does look a lot like her mother, grand-daughter of Himself.
They both wear a hat well though - have added 2 more pics - one is of Himself larking around in an antique shop a couple of weeks ago.
The photos of Mount Scott are interesting

ReplyDeleteI love Mt. Scott. If it had been less windy I'd have taken more photos. The colour and shapes of the rocks and the yellow/green lichen against them is
striking.
the eyes have it, T. for sure!
