For the Birds....

Here are today's offerings...yep, some birds. Kevin and I went hiking on Amherst Island in the area called the "Owl Woods". Of course, we didn't see any owls...well, we think we saw a couple, flying around, but none close enough to shoot. I did get some good shots of the birds we did see, which were:

1st Pic-chickadee with a seed in his beak on Kevin's hand
2nd Pic-woodpecker up in the tree (above a bird feeder)
3rd Pic-nuthatch with a seed in his beak on the bird feeder

Enjoy!

Keturah and Arwen

I have finally picked a template for my blog that I'm going to keep for awhile. I did some minor updating to it...Unfortunately, did not save my last layout, so not sure if I am missing some information or not....Let me know if you see any problems or I'm missing vital information!

Here are some shots of Keturah and the cute pony she's been riding the last couple of weeks, named Arwen. She can be stubborn, but she made her go over the jumps eventually!

On another "horse" note, Keturah and I will be going to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto on Friday. We are also going to the Horse Show that evening too, so that should be fun...Unfortunately, I can't take pictures there, but I'll let you know how it goes!

Enjoy the pics!

Halloweeners!

Here are some pics of the family all dressed up for Halloween.

On another note, you may have noticed a different format for my blog...Yep, I thought it was time for a change, so I picked a different template...not sure if I like it or not as purple is not one of my favourite colours, but I'll give it a try...leave a comment if you like it or not...If I get some time to play around, I may keep the format, but change the colours to red or orange or something I like better! lol

Nikki and Keturah

Here are some shots of Keturah and her cute little steed, Nikki. These were shot last week. Keturah rode Arwin this week and I didn't get any good pics of them together because it was raining and they rode in the new barn, which means dark pictures!

1st shot-Nikki waiting to ride
2nd & 3rd shots-Keturah and Nikki during the lesson

I'll add some Halloween Pictures next!

Giddy Up!

Keturah finally got back to riding lessons yesterday. Yep, when it was a very rainy day! Luckily (for them) they rode in the new arena, so stayed nice and dry, but my photos of her were pretty crappy due to the lighting in the arena...I guess I'll have to bring my bigger flash, but then I'll probably scare all the horses then! SIGH...

Here are some friendly horses I shot in and around the farm:

1st-Thunder, waiting to ride
2nd-RV, wanting to come in from the rain I think
3rd-Henry, just hanging out in the new arena stalls

Shediac, New Brunswick

Here are some pictures taken during our trip through NB. We stopped in this little town called Shediac. We walked along the beach where most of these were taken. The first picture was taken at the visitor's centre.

For the Birds...

Wow, it's been 2 weeks since my last post..hard to believe it's been that long! I haven't posted because I have been very creative and made lots of handmade cards for Halloween and Christmas!!! Lots of fun!

I have not taken any pictures lately!! (just Keturah's bday party last weekend!) So, here are some rare birds, that I shot at the Magnetic Hill Zoo in New Brunswick during our holidays in August.
