At times I am called to chauffeur the men, shuffling rigs and outfits. ie: pickups and trailers - from one part of the ranch to another.
Drive to location #1 and drop pickup #1 off.
Squish into pickup #2 and drive to location #2 and drop off cowboy # 1,2 and 3 and their horses.
Drive to location #3 and drop off cowboy #4, 5, and 6 and their mounts.
Then drive back to location #1, leave pickup #2 there, drive pickup #1 back to the house, and start a batch of bread dough.
This takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, and you might be surprised to know that I love doing it because it often means I get shots like this:
And this:
And this:
Rain is so rare that these kinds of shots are almost nonexistent:
There are just some things in life that are worth getting up for:

Gorgeous photography. You have a good eye to capture those shots.
What stunning photographry!
WOW! You make even dust look good.
Oh those are gorgeous pictures Karin!!! I have always been an early bird. I love getting up before the sun and watching it rise. My Dad told me that whenever we would be driving thru the night (on our various moves), I was always the kid that would stay awake and keep him company in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for the beautiful pictures this morning.
I love reading your blog. You have a down to earth persona that is so refreshing.
Your photo today are breathtaking.
Keep it up!!
Awesome Awesome pictures. My hubby is a morning person not me! seeing your pictures makes me want to be tho:)
Oh I loved your rancher's post this morning. Especially after seeing I posted about my Rancher's Daughter Quilt Along. I need your stunning photographs!!
Beautiful shots in the early morning hours. My favorite time of day.
Beautiful images!
I love your pictures
I wish we were there with you to share those beautiful moments, I really miss America so much
Thanks for sharing your lovely morning moments with us. Your pictures are so pretty.
Beautiful pictures. My childhood was on a ranch in a much wetter part of the country, and I sure miss those days - so very long ago. It's nice to see others enjoying all the hard work and early hours, thank you for sharing :)
I call myself a morning person but not that early!! Fantastic photography. Thanks for sharing your morning.
Those pictures are so pretty, gave me cold chills.
Absolutely beautiful Karin.. Makes me wish I wasn't a night owl!! We have bush fires blazing here at the moment, things are tinder dry. Friends of ours in Queensland are waiting for flood waters to rise... what a country..
Stunning photos!
Definitely worth getting up early in the morning for shots like those!
I'm a night owl, as evidenced by my time on the computer, but I would get up early to see nature's beauty like that. On the occasion of camping or traveling, I've had the privilege to see some beautiful sunrises. You do wonderful photography. Thanks so much for sharing. It makes me want to move to a ranch and help out for a while.
Oh wow, your photography is beautiful! I would have photos 1,2 and 5 enlarged on canvas. They are stunning. You're quite the artist!
Those pictures are absolutely breathtaking...thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you. Your pictures are just beautiful, breath-taking.
(I get up early too - usually 4. If I sleep in past 4:30, I feel like I wasted time already..LOL)
I love the rose and golden sun photos! It makes me think of the saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning." I don't suppose you have to worry about taking warning since you said you don't get much rain. Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing them.
Amazing pics and again those should be in a calender!:) It looks like you finally got some rain - yay!
Blogger again didn't show this post!! Wow some awesome photography!!! You've captured the essence of the life!!
Blessings
You should do a Dirt Road Stripper ... errr ... I mean Scrapper (been reading too much Judy Laquidara) calendar! Or note cards! The images you capture are just plain gorgeous!! :)
