Scout and fall leaves
I actually took these pictures almost two years ago, in November of 2010. You know, I'm so busy when I go up to the ranch that I really can't carry my camera around with me to take photos anymore. I try, but I'm either cleaning out water troughs, or leading a horse (NOT good for the camera!), or giving a horse a bath! And, since my horses are located on two different areas of the ranch (apart from each other...) that also makes it difficult because I don't want to put my camera down somewhere and have dust get all over it and inside it. I did that with my old Nikon (which I still have) and when my husband took it to the camera store for cleaning, the guy told him, "WHERE does your wife keep her camera? In a BARN?" Yes, it was THAT dirty! It had bits of hay inside it! (...smacking forehead with hand...)! So, now I'm VERY careful with the new Canon. I leave it in my car. However, I don't always park my car in a convenient place to go run and get it. Nuzzling Muzzles, you understand, right? Sometimes I put my little Nikon Coolpix in a pocket, but then I get so busy, I forget I have it! And, it isn't good for close up shots...sigh...So, needless to say, I don't have many recent photos of the horses. I do, however, have these of Scout, which show how dainty and feminine she is! Just LOOK at those eyelashes! And, her little nose! I tell you, I love to smooch her on the nose!
She is lovely! My daughter has the same problem. Good to have a mother interested in photography then but sometimes the horses get a bit too interested in the camera. I wish you a great weekend!
