SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE...GIVE ME YOUR TWO BEST SHOTS

I picked these two shots from 2009, but I probably have others that might be better. Since I started this Journal in February of 2008 I have taken an average of 500 pictures a week...that's over 26,000 per year (and they are all stored on CDs). I must be out of my mind! Do you wonder why my posts are so long?

I'm a morning person and this first shot was taken a little after the sun started to rise. I like it for it's composition and color...it really gives off the feeling of our farm.



This is a picture of our 29 year old pony, Babe's Opal. We call her Pone or Pony. I selected it as one of my best macro shots because of it's clarity and currently display it as my header.

Ed, this was a great way to sum up 2009. Thanks.

Those are great shots! I am partial to the second one. I live an hour west of Albany.

Pone's eyelashes is an absolute favorite of mine. I was just mentioning it to Ed earlier this morning. :)

These were two of my favorites that you posted last year. I always enjoy reading about your farm life, too.

Like the sky!

me too took 30.000 photos last year.
But this year I have started lightroom and that is a good program to organise your phoytos an dyou tag them so you can find them again.

Very glad that you chose the shot of Pone's eye. It has been one of my favorites from your site also! My goodness, what those little eyes have seen in 29 years!

I love both shots! And don't ever take fewer photos or do shorter posts - the posts are just the right length to cover your day and allow us to come along!

Sandra said...

The sunrise is wonderful but my heart belongs to Pone. What a beautiful picture.

Love the color of the first one; I'm a morning person too. Horses eyes- my favorite subject to photograph, Love this one.

Those are great! I take way too many pictures as well and love every second of it. :) I think the photography is why I was drawn to your blog. :)
