Frozen Pansies with some Macro

We are getting some overnight freezing but not very often.  I shot with my 18-55, 50 1.7 and 100mm macro, the macro definitely showed the most interesting outcome.

Nathan, Our horses new best friend

 Today our horses had a visitor, The Farrier!!!  At first it was not looking too bad but after the first horse was done, that is when the fun started!  It took about 45 minutes to just trim the hooves of one horse. Nathan just trimmed 5 horses at the neighbors and it took under two hours.. Yes we have a challenged horse!

I shot these today at the neighbors where everything was calm.

A bonus from last week

Here is a photo that I shot last week so it does not count in the Project 2011-52 and will post a new photo sometime later this week.  The reason it is getting posted late is I had to wait for a model release/parents permission to post it here.  Thank you Casey and Shellee!

The photo was taken upstairs of an old building in downtown Dallas Oregon.  It is known by many to have a lot of paranormal activity in this building. Some of the paranormal groups from around Oregon have stayed the night in this exact room and have found that there is a lot of activity including voices, bumps, cool/cold spots and many orbs in photographs.  I did not see any orbs in any of my photos but I only shot a few and this is one of my favorites.

What a week!

Aagh!
A photo from this week, It is 12midnight on Sunday

2011-52 week 2 post

On the way home from Salem and missing the large boulder falling onto River Road South by just 15 minutes, I found this line of irrigation pipe on wheels in a field at Blue Heron Farms just East of Independence.
