A snowy day in the country...

I love the snow.  Always have.  God is so good to give us so many beautiful things to enjoy!  It was in the single digits when I took these pics in my yard.  Enjoy!

Coming home...

I was sitting on my porch watching our pets down at the pond.  The lighting was good as the sun was about to set so I grabbed the camera then we called our "babies."  They came a running. It is so fun to watch them run!!! This is the first pic that was taken as they crested the hill. I moved them a little closer together in the pic using Photoshop.  Enjoy!

Rare Lunar Eclipse

This eclipse only comes around every few hundred years.  NASA predicted that it would be colorful with red/orange colors, but for some reason the colors didn't show up from the Kansas area.  I was fortunate that I was able to get some shots as the clouds were skimming over the moon.  The first shot is before the eclipse, then the last three are a partial, half, and full eclipse.  Enjoy!

Funny Farm Animals

Trying out my new wide-angle lens on my pets.  This lens is really cool to use for some fun wedding shots.  I normally don't post this many pics on my blog, but these are so hilarious that I thought you would enjoy them all.  Poor Ace (the Palomino) looks like a camel.  He and Dakota kept trying to chew on my camera. It was entertaining to sit on the ground just above Ace and take these shots of him that made him look like a camel.  Enjoy!

You Can't Please Everyone...

Not even a dog treat could get her in a good mood.  Java is over 70 years in dog age, so she must be becoming an old grouch!  Anyway, I was able to get a few shots of her before she jumped off the table and headed for underneath our bed to hide!!! :)

My Beloved Pets and Country Pics

It's been a bit since I posted so I'm doing catch up work.  Here are just a few pics I've taken in the last couple weeks.  I can never have enough of my pet pics as they provide so much joy in our country lives.  Have you noticed how well fed they look?  It's hard not to give them sweet feed treats almost every day.

Soon I will be doing a Christmas portrait session with Java, our dog, so stay tuned.... :)

My favorite time of year...

I love this time of year!  The weather and colors make living out in the country such a blessing!  Last week when I noticed the colors starting to change, I grabbed the camera and got a few shots in my yard.  I had been wanting to get a shot of my pond for my website so that customers will see what it looks like out here; hence the shots of our pond below.

We have so much fish in our pond, but do you think they are biting?  No way!!!  I don't know what their problem is.  The other morning, I suspected a large turtle might have hooked my line.  I could not pull it in.  Finally my line broke.  I don't know what I would have done, had I pulled it in! :)  I sure wasn't going to try to take the hook out of its mouth! 

Anyway such is the country life.  Here are some of my favorite pics from our yard.  Enjoy!
