The winter has been mild here in the great PNW, well with the exception of the 12 days we went to Kauai for our 10th wedding anniversary, (biggest snow storm of 2012 so far hit our little town while we were away) so I have not been posting on the blog much for various reasons.

Recently I went through the house and decided it was time to sell a bunch of stuff on eBay which helped me to afford a little gift, the Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens . I just received this lil guy in the mail yesterday and haven’t had a chance to do many test shots except for this single shot I took this morning on my way out to do chores.

Just from looking at this single shot of my Earl Twist saddle I can tell I’m going to have lots of fun with this new lens, looking forward to getting some time to hopefully play with it in the next couple of days.

I eventually caught the little culprit and put him in the dog run until he went back home. I love the shots of Cimarron rolling around on the ground ;)

I truly love having a phone with a camera, I do wish at times I would carry my D90 around but on wet cold days like these the cell phone is fine with me for taking these types of photos.

Didnt have an angel to adorn the top of the three so I used my horse head puppet with a “Santa Baby” cap instead ;p

Looking forward to some snow and beautiful winter days, fall already has produced some record breaking temperatures.

But needless to say, I still gotta ride – cold toes and all! So I rode down to one of my favorite spots and used my phone to snap this picture of Rain and me. Now some would think a 10 second timer would be long enough to run back and get a good pose, but with grass under a horses hooves it is tough to get there attention so I settled for just one, besides it was a lot warmer in the saddle.

Wish the horses had stuck their heads out of there stalls.

Since Rick and I updated our ancient cell phones and become cool and techie with our new HTC Sprint phones I rarely miss moments because it so convenient to have a camera on my phone with me at all times. I know that the quality of the photos would be better if I was using my Nikon DSLR but I must say it is such a fun way to capture some nice moments and to share them with friend and family. Below are a few from yesterday and today.

Until tonight when they were not shy in front of the camera. Here is a little video I put together of Rain and Cimarron showing off their “moves like jagger”!

Her brother Victor and his wife Raylene brought over my grand nephews Dominic and Andrew whom I had never met and the family was overjoyed at having small babies around. Enjoy Bellas!

It was a chilly morning for August and the cloud coverage gave way for some dramatic light/shadows. We brought our fearless buddy, Tuki Yorkshire along for the maiden voyage. I’d have to say these kayaks are comfortable, easy to maneuver and perfect for carrying all the camera gear I was packing that day…and it kept my lil buddy safe and dry :)

Below are some pics I took with my Nikon D90 with the lens kit 18-105mm I added a little 70′s vintage to the photos because lately I’m just feeling it thata way!

Enjoy Bellas, Ciao for now!

Now I’m no professional at taking headshots as my usual suspects are my horses and little critters around the ranch however I think we got some nice ones from the day.

Enjoy Bellas!
