Thinking Warm Thoughts

It's been snowing off and on for the last two days. The Olympics have been on non-stop, but even with all the entertainment, I'm starting to feel a little cabin-feverish. I'm ready for spring and warmer temperatures. We had a colder than average winter and I'm ready to wear my flip flops without having to worry about frostbite. :-) So, in honor of these warm wishes, I thought I would post a few pics from a hike through Dominguez Canyon on July 2, 2009. I previously posted a couple of these on Facebook, but I've since cleaned up the contrast and made a few color adjustments in an attempt to share the true beauty of the canyon. Hope you enjoy!

Silly Horses

This isn't a great picture, but I thought it was kind of fun and I promised myself I would post something today. I've been sick and really unfocused, but I feel much better now and I'm excited for whatever tomorrow may hold! The light was really low, which is why the shot is a bit of blur. I was so focused on catching the horses in this pose, that I didn't adjust for the light. Next time. These are my neighbor's horses, Sox, on the left, and Sunny. Despite what appears to be demonic gleams in their eyes, they're actually very sweet. I was over at the neighbor's house letting their puppy out and I noticed the horses playing in the field. I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some animal action shots. I like photographing animals - they aren't self-conscious and don't mind if I take a 200 shots. Sox even turned out to be a bit of show-off! While the other horses got bored with me, he was all up in my business.
