This is the goat that was not supposed to be out and he was enjoying a snack of all their flowers!

 

[Chantilyvamp]

These are the geese that tried to steal the picnic lunch!

 

[Chantilyvamp]

When the geese didn't get our lunch they went after the goats lunch!

The reflections one is a favorite. I have several more like that. I got carried away taking pictures again. Good thing I have switched to a digital.

 

[deathlynx]

I know the feeling...unfortunately It looks like we're going to have to get yet another digi...this one has started to act up on focus...

 

[Chantilyvamp]

I need a digi camera with a larger zoom

Me as well, I just get tired of paying for developing on it. We looked into getting aslr kit to go with the lenses but they wont work with the ones we have so I'll have to wait longer before I can get that.

Can't afford developing equipment? I have some around somewhere, my dad's old gear, but no where to set it up around here...and these days I'm not sure I remember the process...it's been ten years since I've done my own film developing

Thanks for posting them.

I swear this horse was posing for me!

I think this is perfect for this picture....Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
An October's day, towards evening
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Last of the line at an honest day's toil
Turning the deep sod under
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
Flies at the nostrils plunder.

The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
with the Shire on his feathers floating
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
to bed on a warm straw coating.

Heavy Horses, move the land under me
Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free
Now you're down to the few
And there's no work to do
The tractor's on its way.

Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed
to keep the old line going.
And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood
behind the young trees growing
To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth,
and your eighteen hands at the shoulder
And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry
and the nights are seen to draw colder
They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power
your noble grace and your bearing
And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls
in the wake of the deep plough, sharing.

Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill
Up into the cold wind facing
In stiff battle harness, chained to the world
Against the low sun racing
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood
A rein of polished leather
A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky
Brewing heavy weather.

Bring a song for the evening
Clean brass to flash the dawn
across these acres glistening
like dew on a carpet lawn
In these dark towns folk lie sleeping
as the heavy horses thunder by
to wake the dying city
with the living horseman's cry
At once the old hands quicken ---
bring pick and wisp and curry comb ---
thrill to the sound of all
the heavy horses coming home.

Bell clear almost emblematic crops, except the building.

Water makes any one look like a great photographer, the stuff is hypnotic. You should very much get sophisticated equipment Vamp, but in the meantime do what you can with this stuff. train the eye.

brilliant.
