Trail Ride Part 1

I have to do this post in stages, I should be more like Shirley and do an interesting but shorter versian oh well if you get bored ......the beauty of technology shut me off. The first 2 pics are fairly obvious they are pre- loading yahoo we are going.

Dave and I went in Fri afternoon and got our camp set up, there was already another couple there with horses so they had the corral. It turns out they live just a few miles down the road from us. Later in the afternoon I went back down the road- an hour to wait for Shirley and the Alberta girls so I could show them the way in.These next pics are out of sinc, unfortunately our new friend from Alberta was having tire problems and had to get some changing done. Three flats on one trip is three to many. Where we were is not a good place for flat tires, thank goodness we had a fix it guy along.The 2 pics below are what we saw from our camp when the Alberta rig came limping in. You can get a better versian of this story over at Ride A Good Horse.

These shots were taken at about 8.00 or so pm so the sun was at the top of the mountains and it was getting to be dusk below where we were.This photo was taken the next day, Shirley and Crystal went into Cranbrook where I'm glad to say they received excellent service. They returned to camp with new tires and a new rim. Dave put her tires on, I'm sure she was relieved to know she would make it out safely.I think Crystal and her friend Charlenelike our scenery but I'm not so sure they like how.... you get up close and personal to it. To find out what the girls thought about their week - end wander over to Ranch Riding and see what's up.

That's it for this post I will try for another bit tomorrow. Hey I saw a few posts from Sunday's Metal challenge - awesome. Later.

Weird Sunrise

It was quite smokey this morning and this was a very strange attempt at a Sunrise. Sorry my pics aren't in sequence, my computer won't let me shift them around anymore and I keep forgetting I have to put the ones I want first - last. Did I say that right? Whatever there you have it

Wordless Wednesday

Sunday Challenge " Clouds"

This weeks challenge is Clouds should have been easy.Considering I haven't been here for awhile you would think I could come up with something a little more dramatic - sorry as usual I missed it. I didn't know what the challenge was or I would have carried my camera with me. Thursday I saw somw incredible clouds that would have knocked your socks off. I must take that camera with me everywhere..... I keep saying that but I never do. I think it will get broken or lost so I miss many great opportunities. I could have put in some from the last cloud challenge but I didn't want to cheat so this is it. I'll try for better next time.

Comfy cat

Now who would have thought this would make a good bed - but hey they are pretty comfortable for sitting, trust a cat or two to make a bed of it. Before anyone can ask...I don't have real names for them....to date I just call them girl cat and boy cat - yeah I know but so far it works. Shirley see the little half moustache now.

Funny Girl

This was going to be my Wordless Wednesday .....but I missed Wednesday - and anyhow who could stay wordless when it comes to this pup. Is it just me or does she do it to you too. I just smile everytime this pup comes into view, of course she's usually doing something goofy that makes you want to laugh. I was looking out the window....thus the kinda fuzzy shots when I saw Kali fit herself into the container - with room to spare, I had to run to get the camera....uh an opportunity not lost for a change.

Two Of A Kind

Sage has finally relented and decided it's much more fun to play with the the pup rather than work so hard to ignore her. I must say Kali makes it almost impossible to ignore her though. Sage still puts her in her place when she gets a little carried away....which is somewhat frequently, she must feel like she's getting it from everyone, Kali has a tendency to get wound up after playing with the dogs and then she's just a bit rough when dealing with the human factor.....in other words me....so she gets put in her place....again. She is sure growing, she adores Sage and is trying to be just like her, it's pretty cute to see her trying to follow Sage everywhere she goes....it's kind of like the little brother or sister you couldn't get away from.
