Kids' Branding
Robbin and I took so many pictures at the “Kids' Branding” on the Elliot Ranch up the North Fork of the Kaweah River on Sunday that we actually forgot for a few hours that this year’s feed season hinges on tomorrow’s forecasted showers – south slopes now all but brown. Children of children I watched grow-up with a rope in their hands, I was frankly surprised by the enthusiasm that four to eight year olds can still maintain to be part of the culture. We were certainly encouraged by all the wild fun engineered by Kyle and Dina Loveall.
With little time to actually look at all the photos, I’ve included two for the Stone family as a preview of a project we’ve yet to define.
