Description

Taken at Buffalo Jump Head Smashed In Alberta.

Curves, Fract Filter...One Of My All Time Fav's! Re-Enter.

F5, 1/60 ISO 800
In the Olden Days in the late fall, The Native Americans ran
buffalo over cliffs, quickly cutting them open and collecting all they
could from the animal. They then bury the meat where the ground would soon freeze and they'd have meat to last the winter.
This Buffalo Jump is about 3 hours south of my home.
I used the Fractilus filter on the BG for added interest!!

YOU'RE NOT OVER THE HILL YET!

(HA!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR VERY OWN
MARY ROBISON

Isn't it great to finally be 29???

Love You Lots and We All Hope You Have The the Happiest Birthday Ever!

Mary K. Robison November 30, 2012

Hmmm...a buffalo birthday card...that's...so-o-o-o...DIFFERENT!! HAH!
Pom, I love how your mind works, and how creative this card really is. If I were still a baby of 28, I might be too young to get the humor, but it's amazing how the brain magically shifts gears once you turn 29!
But then, you already know that! So does Kiki, and a number of other lucky ducks floating in the "29 forever" pool!
Thanks so much for the wonderful card, and all the love and thoughtfulness behind it. :-DDD #10443604

Mary K. Robison November 30, 2012

P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes, too. You've all made my day/night! #10443606

Mare, my mother NEVER aged past 29. Ask anyone who ever asked her. :D I figured if it worked for her, well...you know the rest. :D

Yes, 28, is an awkward age. I am glad we have all said good bye to that strange place in life! Ahahahahahaha!

You are one of the most funny people I have ever met and I just love reading your comments wherever I happen to find them. You are such a wonderful friend to all who know you, as well, and I truly hope you have the best year ever ahead!

Hi Rey and Paddy! :D

Good to see you both!! Better late than never.

I actually made this one a long while back. It has always been a favorite of mine so I thought Mary might like it for a silly dilly B-day card! :D

I like the one with his tongue hanging out. HeeHee...

Bye and thanks for "dropping" in. Just don't go any further and jump!
