As I was traveling in relative comfort in my Mahindra Scorpio with friends to Jeypour, I noticed this boy sleeping on his mothers shoulder, and hanging on tightly. He was resting in the safety of  his mothers arms, and didn’t wake because of the tooting of the horns, or the bounce of the rutted road, he knew it was safe where he was. I thought this was sweet, how trusting he was there.

I got the opportunity to go overseas recently, through some great and awesome adventures. About over one year ago, I knew that I was coming to India, at the time I didn’t know how or when. Though some different events that happened, I was involved with a conference at a school I attended and had the opportunity to meet several people who became influential on my career path from being a Computer Information Systems admin to having a strong desire to work in International Development. There was a period of time when I didn’t know when anything might come together. In late November I received a call from a friend, that led to getting hired by a NGO, and moving to India for a year. So I’m here now…. and here is an image that tugs at the heart strings…

From the wind and rain swept Scottish Highlands comes a different bred of beef cattle, the Highland bull. With rugged long wavy coats of red or black hair, a handsome lot who can survive in the northern climates where others would die. Here along a highway in Eagle, ID, I found a fold of them and captured the following photos.

This photo is being published in the Best of 2011 – G+ Photography Book. Highland Bull – This character was munching some grass, when I stopped the car, and walked over to the fence with my trusty camera. There was about 6-7 of these highland cattle including some youngsters quietly enjoying some hay, some were nursing, while others played games of follow the leader and butting heads… I started snapping shots to capture the moment, and this rather large bull came over and took some interest in what I was doing beside the fence. Kind of a shaggy creature, with some weathered lines in his face (I’m just imaging this), he had quite the coat and seemed warm in comparison to the temperature outside. Wonder what he thought of this strange human, who hasn’t brought any food, and is making this clicking sound. I think he had a sense of humor or something because he then let out a bellow, but unfortunately I had focused on the others at the time and missed the shot… darn it! #PlusOneCollection

Got to drive up the Payette River a few years ago while I lived in Eagle, ID. The drive starts off in the foothills with the high desert filled with sage brush, then as you drive higher, the rocks and a sparse number of trees start to show. Higher into the canyon, evergreens and pines begin to appear.

Getting off work at 10 p.m. is always fun, especially if you missed the party on the promenade. As I was driving back I noticed the mist hanging in the air over this little bridge.

Just a few sights to see along some of the roads or trails into the boise national forest. Just a little indian paint brush, one of the amazing flowers we have, one of my favorites.
