It isn't very often...

...that I purposely swap lenses and use the 18 - 55mm lens, but it was just the right night for it.

I love watching the farrier work on the horses. I always have enjoyed holding the horses for the farriers and watching them work. And I have for quite awhile wanted to shoot some pictures of the horses getting shod. I'm sure Travis, our farrier, thinks I'm quite the nut job. (and I am so I guess its ok.)

It was all doom and gloom outside so I had very little light to work with; Some of these are grainier than others, but the grit really lends its self well to the Black and White conversion and the subject matter.

quilt show

Saw some very impressive quilts, in the low light it was hard to get photos that do the quilts any real justice. Loved the embroidered fish on this quilt.

the Murray Baker Bridge

Big Oaks...

...from little acorns grow.

a different thistle

Soy beans

Love it when the fields turn yellow, they are such a beautiful color on their way to brown.

Heart again

Sunset gave it a purple hue.

... not as easy to photograph as I'd hoped.
