Okay Nikon and I get a real kick out of these shows, no the horse didn’t kick us. Watching the people who have spent many hours learning and teaching with their horses. They put on a great show and I think more people would really enjoy it. But for now I suppose you will just have to enjoy the photos we take.   Now we are trying very hard to get action shots, I suppose when you see the horses in flight it is close?

On this software you can scroll down to the main page and click on help and it will explain how to use the view, slideshow as well as how to download the full size photos. As usual if you use these photos for your personal use they are free to download. Enjoy the photos!

Okay I am terrible for being able to keep in touch with loved ones.  However my wife is great at finding things and people on the internet.  She found my favorite cousin, whom I had lost connection with (again) for some time.  So to my wife Nikonlady I bow to your greatness and to Joyce, I am so glad we are in touch again.  I promise………I will try never to loose touch again!  So good to hear from you again!

Ok that was a lot of fun.  Running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to make as many parties as we could.   Everyone was great, hamming it up for the cameras, showing that great Carlsbad Spirit.  The Kick off Night was fantastic, everyone looked to be having a great time.  All in all it was a terrific event; I know we enjoyed it completely.

Now I love my wife dearly, but I sometimes worry about her affinity to stand in the middle of the road to get photos of anyone coming at her. Granted she gets some great shots, but it do worry me. So if she is going to stand in the middle of the road to get you these photos, I am going to leave them in so you can see the action in the shots.

As usual if you see some you like just email us the photo number and we will email them back to you no cost. If you want more than a few, feel free to bring a cd or jump drive by the house and we will copy to your media device for free. If you don’t know where we live email us for the address.
I was putting the code on here for people to play the videos, but due to some slower internet connections they simply did not work. So I am going to put the links here to the videos available and you can right click and download them to your computer to view or left click and see what happens.

Know this year I did something just a bit out side the norm. I uploaded 3 videos to You Tube. Okay I know I might be nuts, but I thought the world needs to see Carlsbad has it together check them out;

One of the greater pleasures in my life is going with my wife to take photos.  It can be taking landscape photos which we enjoy the most, or taking photos of an event here in our community.  The entire reason for our website is to share what we see through the cameras.

We spend hours together driving around some days just looking for different things to photograph.  If you look through the 50,000 + photos on our site you will see we find a lot to take photos of.  Everyone tries to find things to entertain themselves, but the greatest pleasure in my life is spending and enjoying time with the love of my life, my wife.

I was counting my blessings the other day and run plum outta fingers and toes and figured hey I’ll just blog instead.  This is what happens when you give an old man a computer and internet and say; “Hey, you should put your thoughts on a blog!” and the old man goes…HUH?

Yeah I know the voices are running amok.

Well I see another Carlsbad business is closing………not to fret, someone could separate the building into apartments and reduce the housing shortage.  All it takes is just a little positive thinking.

 What Self?  Oh all right I will shut up then………ppppppfffffffffttttttttt!

I was layin on the couch with a dazed and confused look on my face (normal look by the way) when I said to myself…..Self, I might as well have a blog, it seems like the thing to do.

And self answered, yeah right like anyone cares what you think!

Self is not a very nice person as you can tell.  Ah but so are the rest of the voices in my head.

But I will do my best to share with you my infinte wisdom…….

Lord have mercy on us all!

Self will you knock that off!
