Sunday Stills is a place to hone your photography skills. Each week Ed issues a new “Challenge” that gives us the opportunity to pick up what ever kind of camera we own and try to meet the challenge. This week's challenge is "Happiness". How can I pick just one? This blog could go on and on with my favorite things that make me happy. But because I am late in getting the post up, I'll just go with a few. Which to choose, which to choose..... Since this blog is horse related, I'll start there:
Of course Windy is one of my favorite things; my partner in all things horse.
And the herd, with the dogs keeping watch. (Are we keeping you up, Bo?) I love going out to the pasture and just mingling with the animals.
Horse trail riding. The scenery, the views, the friends, the trails.
And horse camping.
My boys have forced me to become a football fan. Support the home team! Note #55 -- That's my boy! I'm even happier when we are winning. It's been a challenging season to say the least.
McCain is the one in the center in white with his hand on another's head. Not sure if that is legal or not, but he got the job done! I'm very happy when he has good plays.
Case is #17 in gold, with red socks. He is the one who has the ball. Happiness is when he gets up from the pile and looks for me in the audience as if to say "how'd I do?" This is how we spend our fall evenings!
And last but not least -- well, maybe so -- are my chickens. They started out McCain's chickens and he lost interest. So I adopted them. They are pretty cool and very photogenic.
"And these are a few of my favorite things....."
That first photo is just dreamy beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWindy looks so sleek and shiny in that second photo. And check out your boys! Wow! Football stars and all! You must be proud of them :)
Yeppers, lots to be happy about around your place :)
