Sunday Stills

Today's challenge was "go low-shoot high. "
It was a bit of a challenge for me because of the rain but I did manage a couple.
I was sitting down to get a ground level view of the corral post and waaaay up there the moon.

One of the best ways to get a horse photo is from ground level; this was also a sunset on the Skimmerhorns, and almost a silhouette.
And just for fun....
The Mugwump!

The mugwump is the local version of the Sasquatch; aka Bigfoot. This "handsome" fella sits on the roof of the shop where I work.

It's the first pic I like the most. It's so contemplative and pensive.

LOL! Love the Mugwump. aka Bigfoot,Sasquatch, of whatever folks want to call him. We had a sighting by a very drunk person from North Carolina last week who chases it off with a stick then called 911, it was pretty funny.:-)

I used to play ball against a team called the Mugwamps. Isn't the Mugwamp associated with a Creston brewery?

My husband grew up calling small fuzzy things (squirrels, skunks, etc.) mugwumps, and we use it as a household word now down here in Texas for varmints. We looked it up once online and it referred to some arcane political inference. But your description makes perfect sense to the etymology of this word as we use it! Farmer Rick got a huge kick out of seeing this one!
