Sunday Stills

This week's Sunday Stills challenge was the moon...fairly appropriate since last Monday was a full moon! Luckily, we had a couple of clear nights...unfortunately, I'm lousy at shooting the moon!!

I used the "night" mode on my digital, and it seemed to over expose the shots so the moon looked like a flaming ball.

Well, these were about as good as it got for me...





This last shot actually had enough clarity to see some semblance of detail of the moon. I would have had more fun if hadn't been freezing out, and I wore something warmer than just slippers on my feet!!

If you want to see more "moon shots", visit the comments on this post at Sunday Stills! I'm off to check them out myself~~

Punxsutawney Phil was Right!!

Dang it anyhow...I sure was hoping Punxsutawney Phil was going to be wrong this year...but, the forecast last night was for snow until 10 a.m. this morning. The wind woke me up early and I could see the white outside...dang!



I step outside the back door to go feed...lovely...dang!
Just before I went out, My Man opened the door
and 12 inches of snow that had piled up against
the door fell into the back room...dang!





I'm guessing we got 3 inches or so...but with the wind blowing it everywhere...who knows? But, I knew exactly what the inside of the barn was going to look like...





Yep, lovely...dang!



I load up the wheelbarrow with hay for the spoiled boys and opened the back door...






OMG...who's horse is this?????
I think it's Colt...I think...









Oh yea...that's Colt...I'd recognize that a$$ anywhere!




Anybody recognize these Yahoos?





Oh...look...it's Catnip 'n Stetson!!!
There's so much snow on them and inside the lil'
Mustang Barn, I can't tell if they stayed
in it last night or not!!!
Dang!



The pups had a great time romping in the snow...

Cindy Sue looks like she rolled in it.
Well, kinda like me...I hit a badger hole...
landed face first in the snow...dang!!






I think there's a walkway under there...somewhere.

Would you believe My Man and I rode in our
arena yesterday?


Dang...when's spring coming?!?!?!?


PS~~I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Portland...yuck...double dang! 2 & 1/2 days of training for my Agricultural Survey job...see y'all next weekend!!!
