Pretty pictures

The Knutson blog had an art post this week, and I'm dreaming about decorating my new home with my own photos. We'll see about that - most of my photos won't enlarge due to low quality settings. However, they'll look great in a blog, I think. These photos are all Washington state, when I need a little dose of home, I open up my photo folders. NHR until the end, cuz you know, I have to keep this blog pure: )

Interesting how dark Baasha was when he was 6 years old. He took forever to lighten up. That jumping pic illustrates his attitude about jumping - it's much easier to just go around them, but if you have to, use as little energy as possible. Baasha doesn't jump - he just canters high if something's in the way.

I love the pic of you riding him with your gorgeous red hair streaming behind you.
The landscape photos are beautiful, you come from a very pretty state!

mrs mom - i just realized you can see his club foot clearly in this photo - at age 6. hm!

cdn - i just took off my helmet for a moment! *gasp* my hair has lightened into some sort of new, faded color lately. oh well.

stacey - we spend our family reunions each year at an oregon beach and it's just amazing down there. i always jump in and the water is freezing! the photo i posted is surprisingly in washington - i didn't know washington had such pretty coastlines until i visited this summer. oh, i forgot, you're from the other side of the country, aren't you!
