If you mock a weatherman for not being able to predict weather out of a wet paper bag enough times, then they predict a big storm – which of course you don’t believe them – that knocks the power out. I knew I should have just scheduled my Stills post Saturday night! And since I to do so, today will be a late SS/Macro Monday post.

Regular old post-growing moss.

Sunday Stills Challenge:

As it turns out, I did manage to find a horse to photograph… my own! Not that I was worried about finding any. =)

Just coming back from a ride. Nick was so patient and hardly moved a muscle while I snapped away and asked him to pose for me.

This is one of my favorites, I took it this summer right before I went for a ride. I just love the look on his face.

Interesting challenge, but fun! I thought of this photo that I took back in July as soon as I read the title of the next challenge last Sunday. This was in one the little islands in the road on the way to the meat processing place that we take our beef.

Blue Herons are supposed to be good luck, right?

Blue Merle fur…

Black Tri fur.

“I’m afraid currency is the currency.” – Lord Cutler Beckett, Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End

ISO: 64, f/stop: 4.8, Shutter speed: 1/250

As soon as I got the challenge, I immediately thought of the $1 gold coins. The one on left is the older version, and the one with Andrew Jackson on the front is the new version, from either this year, or 2008.

The all-seeing eye… ($1 bill)

I love this eagle!

How do they make the 100 in green look so bumpy??

I think this is a really cool idea! Got every quarter except for Montana.

Home state…

In the spirit (pun intended) of Halloween, this was just too good to pass up and not post!

This week’s challenge couldn’t have come at a better time! When I looked to see what the next challenge was last Sunday, I couldn’t been happier to see it was Halloween because I was going to a Rascal Flatts concert Friday night and I was pretty sure the backup band would dress up like they did every year during a show. I wasn’t disappointed!
