I LOVE horses Jess! They seem to like me too. I go up to Conner Prairie Farm (a living history museum in Indianapolis) and they have a petting farm where you can sometimes go and pet and hug the horses. I always seem to get along with them. In fact they follow me around from spot to spot and they don't like it when I leave! haha. One of the handlers commented once and said the horses don't normally act so affectionate towards strangers, and she asked me if I would be interested in working with the horses there! I've always got along with animals very well, horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens... even fish seem to like me! FISH!! Yeah, if I go swimming in a lake or in the ocean they seem to commune around me. Maybe they sense that I'm very gentle and I won't hurt them. Maybe that's what it is. I really don't know. I'm a huge animal lover.

I think horses are very spiritual animals. You can't lie to them. They see who you are.

Hey David & friends..

Speaking of horses.. Alright if I post a pic (even though I don't recall the camera settings)?   :)


I took this picture when I went horseback riding late last summer in a little town near here called Gibbons.
I was riding when I took it, but the pic turned out fairly well.
The scenery was wonderful..

That's beautiful scenery Lucise. Do you have any more like it ?

And pardon my asking, but that weir seems to remind me of pictures I have seen of beaver dams. Is it a beaver dam?
(Or am I showing my pitifull lack of knowledge of such things ?)   ;D

That's a beautiful picture Milli! Would you mind if I posted a copy of it in the archive thread so it doesn't end up getting buried under lots of posts?

And I'm wondering too what kind of camera you have! :)

Thanks Jess!
I have a Kodak EasyShare C360 Digital Camera (5.0 Megapixels).  It is nothing super but it takes great pix most of the time.  :)

The trail we were on is called Athabasca Trail around Sturgeon River Valley.   
I'm afraid I am not an expert on beaver dams either but I believe that is what we see in the pic.      

Glad you liked it!  I'll have to go back and check that collection when I get home.  If there are any good ones, I'll be sure to post them.

I looked out the window a few minutes ago, and my neighbor's driveway lights were reflecting off the driveway and it looked beautiful. So I grabbed my camera and ran out to the front yard to photograph them, but the picture didn't turn out like I wished it would. It was freezing rain outside and very cold. I didn't feel like standing out there fooling around with my camera settings and I came back in. Maybe I will go back out there tomorrow night when the freezing rain and ice isn't falling. The ice should still be there. It won't be getting warm in Indiana any time soon.

The image noise is appalling, probably due to the slow shutter speed, high ISO and dark conditions. Maybe my G9 will do a better job.

Camera Mode: Manual
Aperture: f/4.1
Shutter Speed: 2 sec.
White Balance: Custom

oh! I see what you were going for though....is there a way to get an angle so the lights are a bit closer together in the frame??
