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!

  1. 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!
