I won't attempt to "wax poetical" about how lucky we are that we can vote in this country. I'm sure that everyone knows that voting is a great privledge not afforded to everyone in the world so we should feel lucky and "blessed" that we can decide our leaders this way.
Please, be nice to the poll workers and everyone in line with you. Please resist the urge to stab the person spouting off about the candidate that you hate with a pen. :-) Please resist the urge to tear the opposing candidates bumper sticker off of the cars around yours. If you can't play nice then you can still play but it would be more pleasant if you're not psychotic about it :-)
Above is a patriotic picture of the arabian stallion "Good Thunder". "Good Thunder" is a champion in many disciplines (native costume, saddleseat and more!) and at the final Arabian Horse Nationals held in Louisville, Ky in 2006, he carried the American Flag on Friday and Saturday Nights.
My apologies for the all of the "noise" in the picture, I was using my old Point and Shoot Camera. (only 5 megapixels as opposed to the EOS Rebel that I use now which is 10) The noise reducing plugin that I use "Noise Ninja" only made the grain worse so I left it as is.
Supposedly there will be at least a 2 hour wait to vote around here today. My husband is going to come home early so that I can go vote without toting munchkin along. I would imagine that 2 hours in a line would be torture for a 10 month old! I wonder if I still have my old "Game boy"......

I'm going out to vote now. Hopefully I'm not in line for hours.
I miss out on all the lines, since I have to vote absentee (too bad), lol. I do know what you mean, I do all my shopping at night when I can leave my daughter with my Hubby. :) Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you have a marvelous Tuesday...and a short wait in line. :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! My hubby is coming home early so that I don't have to entertain a baby while waiting as well. Here's hoping for short lines! :-)
Thanks for stoppin' by...wow, beutiful horses--and gorgeous pics!
Yeah, don't forget your chair, water bottle and snack for the line-time!
Again, quite an impressive horse and photography. Since I'm such a horse novice though, I'm curious... that is an indoor shot? I didn't know that they raced indoors. Couldn't somebody slip and get hurt?
I'm serious...
Hi there!
It is an indoor shot. He is galloping around the arena. There is always the possibility that a horse could slip but the folks at freedom hall always make sure that there is excellent footing in that arena and horses rarely fall. If they do, it's normally rider error. The straight-aways are long and they slow way down in the turns.
Thanks for stopping by though and thanks for your nice compliments! :-)
Awesome horses!!!!
I love looking at your pictures!!!
This was also a great post too!
