Favorites Wednesday — Abby Pup

Posted in Abigail, Favorites Wednesday, LGD, The Dogs on May 28, 2008 by mudranch

I thought Abby would be fitting as a “Favorites Wednesday” subject as she’s a definite favorite around here and we just love that cutie little face of hers… though it’s not that small anymore.  This picture was of this past winter when we kept getting dumped on by snow falls.  We had, at one point, around four feet of snow on the ground and Abby was locked in with the sheep, learning her new responsibility.  It’s hard for a little pup to learn but is so worth it.  She learned that the sheep are under her watch care and she’s pretty diligent about it now.  I often pull in our driveway to see her out counting noses.  What a good girl.

Favorites Wednesday — Bully Choop

While I was out with the lupine the other day, this was another view I came across that caught my eye.  Our local lake with the mountain in the background, Bully Choop, which means “bald face.”  I always thought it would be fun to name a bald faced gelding, Bully Choop.

Favorites Wednesday — Dogwood Trees

 Dogwood trees are some of my favorite trees that grow locally.  Not only do they have really neat flat foliage, but their flowers are large and elegant.  We have a gorgeous drive in to our closest town where there is a dogwood forest.  Since they are just starting to bloom, I’m hoping to go back in about a week to see their progress and hopefully get some photos of the forest in bloom.  They are definitely eye candy for me.

This photo was taken yesterday at around 3:30 pm.  There are more in my flickr photostream if you wanna go take a peek.  Just click on “More Photos.”

Favorites Wednesday — Etta & Cali

Etta & Cali

I was out doing a photo shoot with the “kids” the other day and was pleased to get this photo.  Etta is being bossy but I like the action and the way Cali is telling her mildly that she’s not too thrilled with Etta’s bossiness.  I ran some of PW’s actions on it and played around with the opacities in photoshop… One of my favorite past times.

This little mare was at the entrance to the ranch where the clinic was held.  She was very pretty and knowing the owner, proabably a Kiger adopted this past November.  I have yet to find out for sure.

Have a great day!
