I’m Back (again)
Well, we got rained out again. I can’t express how much water there is. The city we were in was already at flood stage. And then it poured. People who lived along the river were evacuated. So in comparison, my not being able to sell stuff is pretty minor troubles.
My horse safari was also a mixed experience. I did go and photograph some horses, but was unable to get to the Friesian Farm that I scheduled in the afternoon. I am very disappointed, (Heavy Sigh) because they were very nice and offered to do whatever I wanted with the horses. Like run ‘em around and such for great action shots. (Pinch me, I’m in horsey heaven!) Hopefully we can try again next time I’m in that part of the state.
I do however, have some lovely photos of a blind arab gelding named Colton. I fell in love with him and will be painting his portrait and donating it to the Iowa Equine Rescue & Awareness League. IERAL. They plan on having prints made and selling them as a fund raiser. The original will most likely be auctioned off, also to raise money. I used all 35mm film, so you gotta wait to see any pics until I get them developed. And since I live in the boonies that may be a week or two. It’s great living far from civilization, unless you actually need something.
I will tell you more about Colton and IERAL soon, but today I am draggin butt.
Welcome back, Mona. Sorry to hear you got rained out — really thought it woud work out better this time. Too bad about the Friesian Farm also, did you miss it because it was raining or you had to leave early? Good to hear about Colton and IERAL — looking forward to hearing more. Get some good rest, Angela
Oh no! Sorry to hear you got rained out. How awful for those families.
I look forward to seeing a photo (and your finished portrait) of Colton.
