Cross Country at Fair Hill

I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Dansko Fair Hill International. It was the cross-country phase of the event which is always a favorite. As a spectator you get a nice little hike in walking from jump to jump watching some of the top riders and horses tackle very scary (to me) obstacles. 

Honestly I don't know how some do it!

Assateague

We just got back from 5 days in Ocean City, MD. Of course I can't go to the beach without a visit to Assateague Island. When I hopped out of the car to photograph a pony, this doe jumped out of nowhere, right into the shot! You can't believe how excited I was! 

An adorable little foal and his mom hanging out by the road.

Ponies, ponies everywhere. Evening seems to be the best time to go.

The wildflowers and dragon flies were also pretty.

Unfortunately my camera broke right after this last shots.

Back from the Beach

Just returned from 6 lovely days at the beach! We had a ton of fun, well, except for the biting flies on Assateague, sunburn and over priced mediocre food (I know, I'm cheap and picky). Hey, I can't complain - it was vacation!
And it rained a bunch at home so all my flowers and veggies were happy.



My daughter Zoe, singing to the ocean. This was too cute not to share!


Why do I look so grumpy on the ferris wheel? Maybe because I hate paying so much for such a short ride.
The townhouse we stayed at is in the background on the bay side of Ocean City, MD.


This is the closest I got to a pony on the beach! I love this carousel though.


See how far away the wild ponies were. Guess they knew where to get away from the biting flies.


Here's how close I got last year!

I'm way behind on everything. Please be patient with me if you recently sent me an email.
