No, no, of course, this isn't in Versailles! Cattle branding in Eastern Washington last Saturday at CDH ranch where I had the great pleasure of meeting MB of Stanwood again and being introduced to part of her family! The ranch life can be followed here! Again, thank you all for your amazing hospitality! Back to Versailles tomorrow!
... vous n'avez pas la berlue, ça ne se passe pas à Versailles mais dans un ranch de l'Est de l'Etat de Washington aux USA. C'était samedi dernier, la famille de MB (qui tient le blog quotidien de Stanwood) à l’ouvrage pour le marquage des veaux ! La vie du ranch, c'est par ici ! Retour à Versailles demain !
How wonderful that you were in WA!! Wish I could have met up with you while you were here, too! At least we've have a little decent weather the past couple of day!!!
ReplyDeleteYou hardly ever see cattle being branded in Versailles!
ReplyDeletePoor cow.
ReplyDeletedoes the cow get pain killers???
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! You were missed. Fantastic shot, not an everyday sight for sure! Sounds like a lovely getaway, and with a fellow blogger:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting the ranch! Was wonderful to meet you and your mom!

It looks a wonderful place to have visited, did you wear your cowboy boots?
ReplyDeleteEt moi qui croyait que c'était une balançoire !
ReplyDeleteTu reviens avec une photo choc!pauvre petit veau.. Mais c'est la face cachée de la vie des cow-girls versaillaises !- une espèce rare- :o)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
Superbe! Vive les différences! Et bonne fin de séjour.
ReplyDeleteGood shot. I hope you and your Mum had a nice time. We sure did and everybody enjoyed meeting you two--too.
ReplyDeleteYeah get back to work and try not to think too much. Yeah right!! MB
I guess branding involves getting kicked, hence the gentleman wearing baseball catcher shin protectors.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the link in your post. They describe their location as being in the middle of nowhere. That is an unusual destination for a vacation, especially for someone from overseas.
ReplyDeletepoor thing :(
ReplyDelete"Poor cow...it's awful!" please, give me some "lettuce"!
ReplyDeleteCoucou chérie! Je suis très contente que tu sois de retour, tu m'a manqué beaucoup!
bisous

What a surprise, welcome home!
ReplyDeleteSounds as thought you had a good visit. What fun to be able to share this particular phase of life on a ranch. That's quite a spread, too - 25,000 acres! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBe safe!
Welcome back Ciel, sounds like you had a fun time with your Mum in WA, checked the link, those brands look pretty intense oui.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your stay. Poor cow, she looks bewildered.
ReplyDeleteA dramatic photo for sure!
