Because I am a free member here at MD, I cannot post timely photos or obnoxiously cute animated bits to illustrate my blogs. I know I could write something; wait for photo approval, then post the blog and announce that there were accompanying photos – but that’s generally not in me. When I feel like writing, I write; when I have new photographs, I post ‘em.. If these efforts are ever coordinated, it’s probably a coincidence.

Yesterday I finally got around to dumping 123 photographs from my little Panasonic camera into my computer. I’ve been paranoid about doing this as most of my photographs were lost when I had to have my software re-installed a few weeks ago. If I had kept them in the camera, well, I’d still have them... or if I had copied them to CD... or... You get the picture (no pun intended). I’m not very computer savvy. So for several hours last night, I played around with photos, deleting some and trying to organize them (a lost cause) and I posted a few that match up with two fairly recent blogs:

http://www.matchdoctor.com/blog_70912/Ride_the_horse_not_the_saddle.html

So if you’re the kind of person who likes pictures with your stories, you can finally see what I’ve been talking about. That little step-stool thing (?)... The one you can see up on top of the scaffolding (?) That’s the one that dumped me. You can why it was a very good thing it didn’t happen while we were up top.

There’s also a photograph of one of the new horses. Babygirl had posed nicely while Bogo and Rita (as in Lovely Rita or as in Rita Hayworth) the red roan clomped about with their ears back, trying to kick one another and being generally uncoopertive. Bogo was covered in mud as well, so I skipped them for another day (today).

Right now they reside within the camera, waiting for me to be in the mood to tackle another photo session with my computer, and once again, my blogging is ahead of my illustration... What do you expect from an artist?
