(Snapped on 11/11/11)
I can honestly say that this has been the best weekend I've had, in what feels like a very long time (*sigh*)...and to kick off the merrymaking on Friday afternoon, I got to do something that I love to do, but for a variety of reasons - I haven't been afforded the luxury of doing, in absolutely freaking eons...I got to go horseback riding with friends!
My two chums, myself and our mounts, enjoyed a most pleasant jaunt along trails and over fields, throughout some of idyllic Clarke County's most scenic acreage...and after we returned to the barn and partook in a celebratory libation (or several) I felt the familiar urge to seize the moment (and the setting) by staging a series of self-pics. in the barn....
I was far more successful at traumatizing the poor feller who tends to the stalls and the horses (as I paraded up and down the aisle of the barn, naked and partially so), than I was at getting quality images...however - I still don't consider this shoot to be a failure, because when I look at the pictures I can't help but smile...for I am reminded of a superb afternoon which segued into a wonderful weekend, and I feel more thankful than ever to have such sincerely good people in my life...
with your amazing physique, and the sunset in the background this is an INCREDIBLE photo. add a horsie? whee!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture. And somehow I doubt "traumatizing" would be the word the poor feller tending the stables would use to describe the experience! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning photo (and words), hon - and one of my favourites for this month! That means it'll be showing up on my blog in the first week of December, as I'm sure you know...

@daisyfae - "add a horsie? whee!" LOVE that! And frankly, that's precisely how I was feeling when I took this group of snaps...was the perfect way to punctuate an already stellar day...
ReplyDelete@Nathan - Why THANK You, Nathan! I'm stoked to hear that you like this photo!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, if you'd been there to see the poor feller's reaction - you would understand why I described him as appearing "traumatized"...Felt kinda badly about it, actually...
@Curvaceous Dee - Get OUT! No WAY you like this pic. well enough to post as as one of your Photo Favorites! It's so funny to me when someone appreciates a picture that I find somewhat disappointing...ah well, as they say - different strokes, and all that...
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo - Thank You SO much, Dee! You really are too good to me :)
Amazing picture... but now I have images of you naked on horse back.
