Two Days of Snow= LOTS of pictures!

I know a lot of people say "snow.. big deal", but in Middle GA it is a big deal! It only snows about once every 2 or 3 years.. and if it does snow it will be less than 2 inches or even less than 1! But this year we got 4 inches!! Josh and I spent an hour or so outside with my horses taking pictures with them and I got so many good pictures. I also went out the next morning and took a lot of pictures with the beautiful blue sky! I'm so excited about these pictures! I can't wait to get them printed out and put in my new photo boxes!

This is Rose. She's gorgeous in the snow!
I really want to use her for a dressage horse :)
Josh and Rose. Right after this picture she tore off running! 
It's a really cool series. Maybe I'll share them another time!
SoBe looking for some treats!

Sun coming up! Melted the snow :(

Wish I could have gotten this photo in the photography contest! oh well!


Rosey Girl


Sassy girl. If you knew this horse... this is nothing new! Hence her name.

But She can be sweet!

My SoBe girl!
She was zoned in on the feed bucket so this is the only good picture I got of her!


My blue eyed Lizzie, I think she's so pretty.


My gorgeous Flint (I think all my horses are beautiful.. haha!)


Of course the dogs were playing! Lola hated the snow on Day 1 when it was falling...
 but Day 2 she was all for it!

Coal kitty... he wasn't too fond of the snow. 
He was pretty upset with me for making him get out there!


We sure did have fun in the snow! Josh took some time out of his very busy pig show day and came to take the snowball fight pictures that are in the post before this one! I love all those pictures! Thanks to my Mom for taking them! :)

Pottery Studio

I was taking pictures of the place last week while I was trying to get some pictures for the photography contest. We have all kinds of pottery that can be painted and we also have cooking classes. The cooking classes are done by some good chefs from all over GA and my sweet mother. She does hands on classes. There is a biscuit making class coming up in March that will be a good class!

This is where I work!

Getting ready for a Brownie Scout cooking class

Have to include Miss Lila

And if you can't come up with cute ideas, 
there are plenty of examples and books to help you out!

Come and put your creativity and imagination to work!

More DoF

Remember her? She was the one that the hawk wanted to eat for lunch!
So, more DoF... I think! I think it's a good try, wish it was a little more colorful in the background.. but, you take what you get at 6 in the afternoon!

Mmm Cupcakes. I just ate a chocolate one! I made some yesterday for a Brownie Scouts cooking class we had. It was yummy. They decorated them for a hands on thing to get a cooking badge.

Blog coming up on this place where I took these photos. Lovely place!

Figuring out the Aperture Feature

and I finally did it! I have been trying to do this for the past week. I guess there wasn't enough light the first 10 times! I think every time I tried it was night time and the kitchen lights weren't enough. Pioneer Woman reposted some photography  blogs and I missed the last one she posted when I was going back looking through them before... and it just clicked when I read it. So, I went outside this morning to try it out on Flint!

I really like this setting. It's so fun to me!
*Entered into Contest Monday

Now I just need to figure out which one to put into Pioneer Woman's Photography assignment tomorrow IF it's an aperture assignment! Which I hope it is!


I love this one because it's blurry in the background and in front!

I don't know if you may have seen the previous Flint post, but I remember saying he was the sweetest horse in the world. That hasn't changed. He is a doll. As I was taking these pictures I would stop and scratch behind his ears and give him hugs and talk to him... so, every time I stepped away to snap a picture he would constantly walk forward and put his head against my shoulder. He couldn't stay close enough! :)




And why he had to lick me, I have no clue.


I love horse muzzles. They are just so soft looking!

P.S.
I was just looking through some pictures after I posted this post and can I just say that I am in love with these pictures that I took about two weeks ago. I didn't even realize that I had used the A feature... or that this smart camera did it itself!

Meet Lizzie.





Please feel free to let me know which is your favorite! Gracias :)
