Day three of the riding clinic and two more to go. The good news ! I managed to stay on. The bad news? I managed to stay on. Rode the beast today and he was just being a silly goose. Jumping at things like – sunlight.
On the way home, I did a quick stop at Kinder Farm’s little pond to check on the wood ducks. They are still there, but still hiding in their favorite spot. I saw that the boys are starting to get some color on their head, so I hope to capture them soon with more color.
At least a pair of Green Herons modeled me for a short bit. Let’s hope tomorrow is a better riding day.

Good luck with your riding. These pics are amazing….love the shot of the ground! That bright yellow swirl is lovely!!
Isn’t that naturally amazing colors ? Thank you so much for your kind encouragement.
Just gorgeous, as always!!
Beautiful Captures – Herons are so Majestic to me:) Happy Weekend!
I agree..but boy do they squawk, and really loudly. Surprised me a bit. 🙂
Wow! The heron shots are excellent! You don’t get to ride Remy for the clinic?
I rode Remy the first two days. She makes me look so great. Like I know what I’m doing. Threw the beast in there for the challenge. It all fell apart yesterday. Between him spooking like crazy, and me not being able to turn right, all I could do was laugh. 🙂
Sounds like the riding is going OK…I love these, It looks like pure concentration on the Herons face…excellent shots
Like that…yep..it’s going “Ok” Would love it to be better, but then I wouldn’t learn as much. The Heron landed in front of me, freaked out and then flew to that branch. He was keeping a sharp eye on me. Thank you so much.
A GREEN ONE! WOW!
Thanks Jasmine ! Yep, but still don’t know why they call them green. He’s not too green at all. Multicolored rather.
True!
Love your shots of the green herons, which I know from experience are not easy to photograph.
LOL ! You would have laughed if you saw me deep in the bush..in the marsh. Well worth it though. Thank you Mike.
TOO FUNNY! Loved it!
Thank you so much ! Had to laugh if not, I would have cried. 🙂
🙂 I know what you mean
Gorgeous pics, Emily. Love their green socks. 🙂
Thank you so much ! They are pretty cool birds.
Amazing green heron photos…love the detail you captured.
