Horses...

 

Horses, I love them, I love to ride, I love to be around them. I have been rideing for about 11 years. My best friend (we have been friends since kindergarden) and I ride together. I have definently had some bad falls, i have fallen of the horse and on to the jump (that hurt alot). Another time i was rideing my friends horse bareback and i guess i wasnt paying attention and the whole bareback pad just fell off (me included). Suppriseingly even though i fell on my side and onto a rock it didn't really hurt. I have fallen countless times, one funny thing i remember is i was rideing english (im a western rider for the most part) and i was getting up on the saddle and i didnt tighten the girth (the thing that pretty much holds the saddle on the horse) and i got up on the saddle and then BOOM the saddle completely went from on top the horse to its stomach (and i hit the ground). I have decided im going to pick up rideing again, i took a break for about 2 years but continued to ride on and off. I think its time to give it a go again...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Art & Orchids

Above is a photo of my newly re-done room, i must say its a big inprovement compared to what it was.

These are two paintings i did back in the summer, they are  in my room but you cant see them and this picture dose not do the justice. The leopard is actually a copper/gold color not orange and the tiger is a copper/orange color not a red orange.

This drawing is of a senic lookout from up north that i took on the way to isle royal, my drawing teacher gave me a 91%, im not happy! thats the lowest grade i have gotten in that class!

This is just a little craft i did a few days ago, a cute tiny bird in a mason jar.

And last are my beautifle orchids i recieved for my birthday. They just look absolutely beautifle in my windowsill.



Things are Looking Brighter...







 

 To the left and right are my two new rabbits. To the left is Dumbo and to the right is Simba.  

 

Above is Bo, he will be 8 in a few weeks. <3

On September 26, 2011 my rabbit Izzy past away. She died while giveing birth. One of the babies (as far as i know) was stuck in her so she could not pass it. This offten causes something similar to a chemical reaction withing the rabbit. She will be missed. Even though she has passed away the addition of Dumbo and Simba have made things a little bit better.

Forever Loved, Izzy

Fall!

It is fall once again. My favorite time of year! All the leaves are starting to turn colors and since its fall it means that its almost time for the annual Pigeon River trip.

Cant wait!

Butterflys and Hummingbird Moths

 These photos were taken at the nature centers butterfly garden, i have to say the butterfly garden is absolutely terrific! In the top right is a hummingbird moth, to the left is a silver spotted skipper, and in the middle is a yellow swallow tail.



Funny Goat Pictures

 The goats have not appered in my blog lately so i felt they needed a post all to  themselves. So here are some funny goat pictures for you to enjoy. In the middle Lily and Daisy are showing there love for the shovel.

 In the top left corner you have Daisy sun bathing and in the top right you have Lily being nosey.

 

To the left there is Daisy standing in the window and to the right there is Lily beinng frightened by the snow. (Goats dont like snow)

Full Bloomed Flowers!

About 2 weeks ago my moms moss roses and salvias were in full bloom, until the fawns figured out that they can eat them. We weren't all to disapointed though, we got to see them at there full bloom and usually that dosen't happen at all.

That Time Of Year...



Its August an you know what that means....Fair. I love the fair but let me tell you registering was horrible this year. Nothing seemed to work smoothly. Setup is this week and on sunday we bring the rabbits up to the fair and on monday (drumroll) .....we show. Showing at fair is one thing i always look forward to. I cant wait!!



I think Oliver is looking pretty good.

Fair Photos!

Its Official, I have Chosen the pictures i will be entering into the county fair. It took a long time to choose but i decided. I entered into two catagorys, 1 print and a group of 4 prints.

These beautifle wild iris will be my single print, this photo was taken at seney national wildlife refuge.

 These beatuifle bird pictures will make my set of four. I must say this is a diverse group of birds however, an elegant trumpeter swan, the majestic eagle, the mallard, and the tree swallow.
