Birds, squirrels, turkeys and various other creatures!

If you have stopped by to participate in my 250th Give Away it's in the previous post so just hop on over and throw your hat in the ring!

I have noticed that there haven't been any horse type awards that I am aware of so I decided to take the horse/bull by the horns and have one made. My designer Nap Warden made it for me and I love it. Now I don't want you non-horsey people to get your knickers in a knot because there may be an award for you too in the near future! heehee! :o) But for my maiden voyage of award creating I went with a near and dear to my heart theme of loving horses. So to all of my regular horse bloggers I give you the Horse Lovers Award! Please put it on your sidebar and pass it along to fellow horse lovers that deserve it! Take your choice of the two on my sidebar or take them both!

This award represents the people in this world that care for and love horses.

Hubby bought me a new 500 lens for my birthday and I have been having fun trying it out. It really picks up features that my others can't. This was a hard shot as the woodpecker was in back of the wood on the feeder but at least I got part of him.

This little gray squirrel was digging around in the snow probably looking for the peanuts that I put out for them.

Now this is a face only a mother could love!

Momma doe is thinking I am getting so sick of that woman taking pictures of us! Look at those big Bambie eyes!

Here are some birds on one of the feeders and then one in the bush that they like to perch in while they eat their seeds.



I can't wait to go to Florida in a couple of weeks to go to the mini horse show! It will seem good to have lots of light and beautiful palm trees and flowers for a backdrop.


I hope this video comes through for you all. It's about 7 minutes long so if you don't have time to watch the whole thing at least watch a couple minutes. This is another one of the most incredible horses that I have ever seen. They are doing dressage and doing it beautifully!






FIL is coming for dinner tonight so guess I'd better finish getting things put together. The days are getting a bit longer and most of the ice is gone from the driveway so I won't have to worry about him taking a fall.

I will be announcing the winners of the give away on Wednesday! Good luck!!
