...I’m always nervous as whore in church...

LOL!! That saying is so funny! I have to laugh everytime I hear it. But I imagine it's pretty dead-on as a measure of nervousness. ;o)

Good morning, hope things are well in your world :)

Hi there Duchess, I missed your post yesterday. Things are indeed well in my world. :-) I had an extremely busy Memorial Day weekend. I went and watched a couple of tests at a dressage show on Sunday, but didn't get to take any pictures because my camera is dead. (I replaced the batteries... no luck!) It's a shame because I was watching my old dressage trainer compete, and she was riding an adorable grey Connemara mare. My old hunter jumper trainer was there, "crossing over" as they call it, and that was a little awkward. There were a couple of gorgeous friesians there that I really wanted to get pictures of.

That's about all that happened that was horsey this weekend. besides riding Levi.

Beaker, you’re gonna have to get yourself a new camera coz we want some pictures of you, especially on this new monster of a horse! The Kodak V610 that I’ve got is a very nice pocket camera. It’s got 6.1MP and a 10X zoom and is about as big as a long deck of cards. It’s handy to carry along because it’s so small but it takes good pictures too.

[Beaker]

Come heck or high water, there WILL be pictures of me riding this horse this weekend. You have my permission to lynch me if there aren’t! :-)

I like his mane too. What a scorcher today. My ac is out and I had to run errands all day. My face is sunburned.

I missed a turn today and cut thru a gravel road to get back on the highway. I found 2 acres for sale. I was thinking ...close to home...horses around. I called .100,000 dollars! Sad thing is, is that someone will probably pay it.

[HairOfTheDog]

We went on a walk today at a local state park. We were supposed to be Geocaching, but we didn't find it.

Was a neat walk anyway, though it was 3 miles that felt like six! No horses allowed at this park, it's not big enough really. But that means the dogs could come, and they loved that.

Took some pictures along the way of course, just pretend Bay's ears are at the bottom and it will be just like we went on a trail ride through old growth forest. :~)

This is a cedar tree that grew up around an older stump that has since rotted away.

And here's a crooked old cedar that was designed by a committee. ;~)

I ask my husband to pose next to another big cedar, and what pose does he choose?

This park was not without storm damage, of course...

The nether regions of a big fir...

Trail still had this tree (a big maple) across it.

A really big maple

And a gnarled old tree trunk in a dark mossy place.

Doggies taking a drink at the creek.

At least you finished, Harley is sound and no back problems. With that kind of weather, it had to be so miserable. We are all proud of you! Thanks for explaining the score cards, very interesting.

[MissTargets]

Nice pictures. Such beautiful old majestic trees. Awesome!

[CindyDawg]

IMO, anyone that finishes is a winner. The points are icing:’)

[Duchess47]

I’m glad things are going well. Add a new camera to your list of things to buy :) so Hair doesn’t give you a bad time.

[Duchess47]

$100,000 for two acres? Is there a gold mine there perhaps?

[Duchess47]

Great pictures. All of your pictures of your forests remind me of going to see the redwoods. Such immense trees there.

[Duchess47]

~IMO, anyone that finishes is a winner. The points are icing:’)~

You've got the correct attitude for an endurance rider there :)

[CindyDawg]

I just can’t imagine trees that big:’) Enjoyed the pics.

[CindyDawg]

Just pasture land. Not a tree in site. Some gentleman farmer will build a mansion on it.

[HairOfTheDog]

The redwoods are a whole nuther level of big :~)

Cedars are very slow growing, so Cedars that big are at least a few hundred years old.

If Becky had been along she’d have told us to look up :~)

[Duchess47]

Boy, land is not that expensive here unless it’s in town. I thought prices were outrageous here.
