Life :: In Search of the Bluebird

Well. C came to town this weekend. It's always great when she comes to town - we try our best to get together, and if we're lucky, out taking photos of something... Sometimes we forget a camera... or don't charge the batteries... or hell, don't even have a memory card. But we work it all out. Haha.
This time, we ventured up to Knutsford. Being a quick drive from town, but a completely different setting is fun. In a matter of minutes, you change from urban suberbia, to farmland galore! Everything from fields of nothing but cow patties, to angry looking cows, to the odd elusive bluebird, and, even if you're really lucky, snow! Who calls for snow in April?


It was a little cold chasing after the elusive bluebirds - but we did find them.



We found nothern flickers...



Frozen lakes...



Red tailed hawks...



Meadowlarks...




Hair on a fence...



Snow...



And even a scarf on a fence...
Success I think. :)

Life/Equine :: Fiona, Beauty, and the Wades

It's been a while since I posted, yes, I know. Between finishing an online/distance course, working, anxiously awaiting information for schools I had applied to, etc... and a lack of inspiration, I haven't had much to post about, let alone the actual products to do so.
But I lie. C and I went out today to see if we could find some elusive Mountain Blue Birds, and low-and-behold, there are some old photos lost (and now found) on my memory card. YAY!



Looking at the photos now, I was so impressed with the way the sun hit everything... It just happened to be a fluke, I swear... but something to look for!


I fully admit that my photography skills lie best with animal photography... but with kids like this, they make portraits and candids so easy!



And... the best photo of the day... :)
