Lots of hard work, I some times miss my horse farm and the small amount of cattle we had, I don't think people really understand the work that goes into having a working farm. Have a nice weekend.

No...I need a new camera. I have a point and shoot (I think that is what you call them) so, my pictures are nothing to look at. Some day...
Love what you are doing with your pics...amazing. But of course, I have always admired your blog and pics. Thanks for keeping the agriculture industry going. I am grateful for folks like you.
Can't believe it feels like spring where you are at...can I come over;)??
Thanks so much for the shout out. Hopefully this teaching others thing will pay off and I'll learn a thing or two too:) Happy weekend.
THANK YOU so so much for sharing these wonderful blogs!
I love your picture of the hen!

Thanks for sharing!!
You are so right, the only way to really get better is to practice.
You can read about photography basics until you're blue in the face, but there's no substitute for just grabbing that bad boy by the neck, switching him to Manual Mode, and clicking away! :-)
Oh, and don't forget that Pioneer Woman always has photo challenges, too!
Happy Weekend,
Anne
OMG !!! LOVE the hen picture....as a farm woman myself, we have hens cattle, horses and cats....but, hens melt my heart. That picture is awesome, you do a WONDERFUL job at photo's.
Thank you for sharing!
I still only have a point and shoot but have still been practicing. Maybe I'll take my honey up on his offer for a new camera!
I desperately need a new camera! I want to learn about photography and try all of these wonderful new ways of taking photos.....but am stopped by my simple point and shoot camera. :( I am definitely asking for a new camera for Christmas. No question about it..... lol! Have fun with calving season, Kristin! If we lived closer, I'd love to help out on your ranch! :)

Thanks for this great post, I'm sending the link to my daughter so she joins in with her photo blog.
I'm sure you have alot of work right now with calving season, you probably all drop into bed at the end of the day!
