You know how people take picture of there childrens hands and feet being held by a parent or adult.
Well...I don't have children so I thought I would practice this type of shot on the pony. Scout didn't mind but the Farrier was a little uncomfortable about the camera at first.
Low light handheld shots are challenging. Stopping the motion was tough. Could have cranked up the ISO a little more. I'll try it again the next time the Farrier comes back.
Dear Mr. President Obama (if that is the wrong salutation I apologize),
Please send money....
We have crumbling infrastructure here at the farm. The main line from the Well that feeds all our homes and buildings is slowly deteriorating. I woke up this morning and went out to walk the dogs only to find that the 'Sugar Shack' now has a mote. That's right.....a mote.
Please do not send Home Land Security, ATF, NSA, FBI, or the CIA.... we did not plan the mote. It is not part of a farm home security plan. We have a busted main line.
Please send some 'Infrastructure Funding'. You know that bill you passed to fix up the roads, bridges, dams, electrical grid, water ways.
Do not send a team of engineers, OSHA, DER, DEP, Prevailing Wage workers and supervisors, the operators union, a host of brand new shiny equipment. We don't want to turn a $80 job into a $80,000 job.
Just send the check.....80 bucks will do......I'll be waiting.....
Sincerely,
Pennsylvania Wild Woman
P.S. It's the only money were asking for.....we've been bailout free since 1902.
P.P.S. Of course if you decide to extend the 'Cash for Clunkers' program to include farm machinery our 1948 Hi-clear sure could used replaced....we bought it new, paid cash too, it still runs....it's just a little rough.
My husband just does not like my camera....no that's wrong.....
My husband does not like my camera pointed at him.......errrrrm still not quite accurate.....
My husband does not like my camera pointed at him when he is trying to deliver a serious safety message regarding firearm safety to me.
He says I don't pay attention.
I do pay attention....but I'm a woman...and therefor can multi-task EXTREMELY well.
I still love you, you grumpy bugger.....even though you growl and scowl at me.
P.S. If you don't accept my multi-tasking capabilities as normal...I'm going to make you go to couples counseling....trust me....you won't like it there. They will make you talk about your FEELINGS. That's right....feelings....no more mind reading and body language interpretation for me. You will be required to talk about what your feeling. Are you scared...huh huh are you.....you should be. LOL!!!
Saturday I went out to Pearson Park to JeepFest 2009. What's JeepFest you might ask? It's like a Jeep Jamboree. I was under strict orders from Hubby that I was not to participate with our Jeep.....I was going as a spectator only.
It was unfair....but in the end I kept my wheels on the asphalt and just had a little fun with my camera. Meet some great folks and I will be back next year to have a little fun in the mud!
Fun at the Lawrence County Fair with Sisterella and the Munchkins! The Dizzy Dragon's almost did me in though. Around and around and around. Yikes...Barf bags should be supplied when you board.
