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

Bowmanville Zoo

Sorry for not posting in over a week..Time flies when you are having fun! The girls got back to school without a hitch, which was good. I've started a photography course, so have been busy reading and doing assignments for that as well as starting my Christmas cards too. This weekend we headed to Peterborough to the Lang Pioneer Village and Peterborough Zoo, so I will try to post some of those shots later this week too!

Here are some more shots of animals from the Bowmanville Zoo, where we went a couple of weeks ago!

1st-Camel
2nd-Zebra

Pretty Birds!

Today we headed to Bowmanville Zoo and Jungle Cat World as the weather was supposed to be nice (compared to rain tomorrow)! It started "spitting" on our way home.

Anyway, here are some macaws that I shot at Bowmanville Zoo. We hadn't been there in a couple of years, so it was nice to get back! I got a few good shots of animals today. Yeah!
