I love to take pictures of things, so several years ago, when I was still working, I bought a really good camera. This camera is better at taking pictures than I am, still not sure how to make all the correct settings. Some of my friends asked me to shoot their wedding, and I agreed. It was quite an experience, timing is everything. That will be the last wedding I do, too stressful. Pictures are slices of frozen life. We can look at a picture and nothing changes or ages. When I look at pictures made of me growing up by my parents, it is with disbelief that I could have been that thin. I spread out a little over the years.<\/p>\n<p>But with this wedding came an unexpected surprise. A rehearsal dinner was held at the Perryman Ranch in Jenks, Oklahoma. The original Perryman house, built in the 1800&#8217;s, was full of antique furniture and lamps from that era, it had a wood burning stove for cooking and another one for heating, the big surprise, however, was seeing a white buffalo. Next to the house was a barbed wire fenced-in area with some cattle, and this while buffalo. Knowing the white buffalo is sacred to Native Americans I approached it with a mystic feeling. It just grunted at me and moved further on down the fence. I thought I might pet its head, but it didn&#8217;t want to cooperate.    <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aleroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/buf.jpg\" alt=\"A White Buffalo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n<font size=\"1\"> On the Perryman Ranch in Oklahoma.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2010, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
