Ponies!
I was so tired last night that I slapped up the previous shot on the blog without much fuss. Upload image. Press save. Done. Sleep.
This post is a bit more deliberate. I stopped by the Dutch Creek farms just as the light was waning from the sky last night. I shot several scenics and distance scenes of the horses in the fields with my BRAND NEW Nikon D300. Suddenly I felt like I was being watched. I turned around and saw this cluster of ponies tucked against the barn, with snow laden backs, staring at me with such sorrowful eyes. Naturally, I pointed my BRAND NEW Nikon D300 right at 'em and pulled the trigger.
Anyway, I'm just reporting that yesterday was a good day. I mean, how could it not be? I scored a BRAND NEW Nikon D300 and I got to see fuzzy ponies.
Did you say you have a BRAND NEW Nikon D300? WOW! Nice camera. Did you get any new glass to go with it?

No new glass, bro. I'm broke, but happy with my BRAND NEW Nikon D300:)

Um, so I'm jealous! Jealous of the ponies AND of the BRAND NEW camera :)
I plan on calling you sometime this weekend when hopefully you won't be so busy :)

SNOW Ponies!!!
Hey Marie, I read somewhere that you got a BRAND NEW Nikon D300! Is that true?

Who wants an old Nikkon D300 that shoots an incredible 6 frames per second/8 with the optional MB-D10 battery pack? MEEEEEEEE! that's who. I'll bet it even has a "compass in the stock, and a thing that tells time." :-))

I'm glad they have their winter coats on! They look so cold!

I hope I don't shoot my eye out with my BRAND NEW Nikon D300;)

You got a brand new Nikon D300! How cool is that? Oh, love the ponies.

I'm glad you got the "Ralphie" reference. If you wear glasses, and they do get broken, don't forget the old icicle ploy. It works every time. :-D

Beautiful photos. Something looks different about these. Did you get a new camera?

Marie - love this shot of the ponies.

Some of your faithful readers would appreciate a review of Nikon v. Canon in the digital realm, inasmuch as some of us are heading to Arizona for some desert hiking in a couple of weeks, need to buy a new camera before we go, and are torn between a simple Canon which will take our current lenses or coming back to the Nikon fold with a D80.
So?
Cheers.

Hi Marie,

I love your pictures, I check this blog every few days just to see your pics. This picture made me remember a pony I had as a kid, at first look I could smell the barn again.

13.2 Megapixels per image....do I see a brand new Mac with HUGE hard drive in your future as well?
