Perspective

Above are some more hummingbird pictures. One of them was taken as I snuck around the corner of our house this evening, hoping to get another picture of the hummingbirds. I couldn't get nearly as close though as I can when I'm in the house in the laundry room. I snapped a couple of pictures of one anyway, to show how tiny these birds really are. Even I forget after looking at so many pictures of them this summer.

Next Summer I am going to plant Red "Trumpet Honeysuckle" because those are a favorite of the hummingbird. I am lucky in that there is spot outside of the window where I could put in a planter or two of it and still get decent photos (I hope).

I am very much going to miss these guys when fall rolls around. There is nothing like the thrill of getting a good picture of a hummingbird without a feeder!!

I spent quite a bit of time this week at the "Worlds Championship Horse Show". This is "THE" show for Saddlebred Horses. Tomorrow night are the finals and I am lucky enough to be able to go!

I've started uploading pictures of the "2008 Kentucky State Fair Morgan Horse Show" on my website. I don't know if anyone will be interested in purchasing the photos but they'll be up there!

I'm also working on transferring the Stonyridge Retirement Horse Farm Photos to the smugmug site. I'm finding that after a second look at some of the photos, I'll be uploading a few that didn't make it before. April that runs the farm has invited me back. I think I'm going to make the trip when the leaves change colors.
