Bad Pictures Of Good Horses...

One of these days...

I shall have a good picture

of running horses.

Shootin' Horses Ain't Easy!

You have them lined up in your sites,

they move,

they make funny faces.

They'll be standing pretty,

they spy you

and come looking for a treat

while looking as pretty as an ole plow horse.

They know you're gonna shoot!

Sometimes they even shake like a dog.

But it's hard to get a shot

when there're chestnuts on the ground.

You think you have a clean shot,

then someone moves an inch

and you end up with a miss.

Even climbing high to shoot doesn't help.

They know you're out to get 'em.

Finally, you get lucky...

and get a fair shot.

This is too much work for me!

I Must Have A Camera Like Lisa's

The full moon was amazingly beautiful with the clouds around it. I carefully set my camera for night shots. I tried to hold it still, I really did, I even propped my arms on the car to hold it steady. Alas, no luck. This blob of ectoplasm looking stuff in my full moon shot.

Lisa at Laughing Orca Ranch has an amazing camera and she has taken moon shots. By no stretch of the imagination does my shot look like a moon. On the other hand, Lisa's is fantastic.

You can kinda see in this one, the photo possibilities but again I did not get it right.

Maybe this would make a wonderful modern art collection but I would have preferred it to look like a moon.

Help, Lisa, send me your camera info!
