You Capture : Happy

The You Capture challenge this week was:  Happy.  I found this one a challenge.  I think mostly because I worked a lot at the beginning of this week and wasn't able to get out and do much shooting. 

I don't feel that some of these are my best work but it is what I have at this point.



I choose this picture because I love to watch both of my fur babies play and wrestle with each other.  I was trying to snap some photos of that play and ended up with a bunch of blurry pictures.  However, this one just looks to me like they are laughing and truly enjoying their play time together.  Still a bit blurry, but fun still!




This is what I pulled out of my not so creative hat this evening.  I like the colors, but again, not exactly the "pop" that I was looking for.  Some of my favorite candy, and that makes me happy.



 I do love horses, even though I don't have any or know anyone that has horses.  Just seeing them run makes me want to jump on and ride.  There is no better feeling than a full run while riding on the back of a horse.  It is a "freeing" feeling that I love so much.  Reminded me of our trip to California last May when I talked my best girl into going horseback riding with me.  It was a guided ride through some mountain trails.  I loved every minute of it.  My horse loved to run and the guide just let me go.  Her horse on the other hand, wanted to play follow the leader.  She is not so much of a horse lover or a rider so she didn't much enjoy all the running.  But it sure did make my whole week, just to have that hour on the horse, being free!



Go and visit some of the other blogs that participate in the You Capture of the week.  There are some pretty creative and really good photographers out there!  I'm hoping by joining in on this each week, I will learn a thing or two from some of them.

I love the horse shot! I am a bit biased since I love horses, but the colors are beautiful and you caught them at a lovely point in the trot!

I LOVE the pic of your furbabies... that's a great pic, it really is, it captures the joy in their faces! And correction: you do know someone who has horses, even if it's only through blogging, lol. The horses remind me of our Stormy (the grey) and our paint horse. Wonderful shot!
