Minus Three

Feeding horses when it is -3F is not much fun, but has to be done anyway. Fortunately, I didn’t look a the digital thermometer closely before I went out this evening, and thought it was three degrees above zero instead of three below. We have about one of these cold snaps every year, and each time I am profoundly grateful for rural electrification and stock tank heaters.

Clydesdale SuperBowl Commercials

I just watch because of the Clydesdale ads, honest. To vote for your favorite, you can go to Best Super Bowl Commercials 2006. My favorite was the one with the Clydesdale youngster. I want one, but I keep reminding myself of when I met a young Clydesdale gelding at the Ft Collins stables. He was already as big as my 16, 2 hh Thorougbred Hap, and yet was obviously a baby. I do NOT need an 18 hh horse.

Yesterday, I took Jack’s monopod with me on my walk along Cottonwood Creek, in hopes that I would get some good shots with the zoom.

I was impressed by how well the above shot turned out, considering my distance from the falls when I took it. Click on the photo for a higher resolution version suitable for a desktop background.
