Lone Swan on Icy Pond

IMG_7165_edited-1

It was a very cold day, about 14 degrees and I was mostly driving the country roads & taking shots from my car. I had to crop this shot even though I used full zoom. I loved how peaceful this swan looked swimming alone on an unfrozen portion of the deserted pond.

Winter Sunset

IMG_7143_edited-1
I took this through a second floor window the other evening as the sun was setting. I wish I used a better focal point but it relaxes me just to look at it.

Lens Used: EF 50mm f1.4

Dream

CIMG0432_edited-1
This is "Dream." He is the main horse that I take riding lessons on. He is mature and quite docile... classified as a smooth ride. And it takes a bit of leg to keep him moving which is perfect for a thirty-something novice rider like myself. He is a sweetie pie.

His & Hers

We went to a car show this summer with my good friend, Cyndi, and her husband. They both have old cars but we just parked in the regular parking lot and were not part of the show so I grabbed these two "head on" shots... his is the Ford pick up and hers is the red Chevelle.

Preschooler Feet

These are my favorite feet in the world... I just love the blur of movement indicated by the foot in motion in this shot. He never stops and keeps me on my toes! (pun intended :)
