did you see any horses?

Apparently that is the joke about Foxfields, and I didn't quite understand it until this weekend! I had an amazing time and took a lot of pictures. I'm sure most of them are junk, but I really loved this one from the time I took it. At least conceptually! I wish I hadn't shot it as wide open as I had. I mean, I love the blurry background, but I bet f3.5 or f4 would have gotten the same effect and the horse would be a little more in focus. Oh well, you live, you learn, and you can only capture life once. See, if I had continued to try to get this shot, I would have missed out on some of the fun that I had. :)

Bella and Pearl

This is Bella and her "baby sister," Pearl. When I took a week off from teaching swimming for spring break, I asked if I could come meet Pearl on my way home from work. She's just the sweetest puppy! I just happened to have my camera with me and thought that if I could get a good picture of Bella and Pearl, then I could give it to her as a gift. The problem is, it's hard enough to get a good picture of a kid, with all the moving around and wiggling, imagine adding a puppy to the mix! It was fun and I think it would be great to try some kid/puppy photo shoots in the future!
