Assorted pics (mostly Ag stuff)

Cows.  They were about a half mile away, and I was only carrying my secondary camera (10x zoom)


Wall of hay bales. 

Which reminds me, I need to start looking for square hay bales for the sheep for this winter.  Square bales are hard to find, as most farmers make the huge round bales that don't fit in the barn door.


Soybeans as far as the eye can see.


Red berries


Ivy-covered fence.  This ivy has been showing up everywhere around here, often growing over the tops of trees.


Old sign.  It appears to say "Fire No. 66"  I'm not sure what it means, I believe it's a sign for one of the local rural fire departments.

Ike takes aim at Texas

Anybody in Texas better keep an eye on the news.  Current projections have Hurricane Ike hitting somewhere along the Texas coast Friday night or Saturday morning.  It's forecast to reach Category 3 (winds of 111-130 MPH), with a 20% chance of hitting Category 4 or higher.
