Pony Party: Afternoon Edition

Please don’t ask me why this stupid song was going through my head….

Went kayaking ( that is a pretty loose description ) last weekend on a much under utilized lake nearby. Got my first sunburn of the year and yes I was wearing sunblock.

Taking pictures while kayaking. Not so easy…. try sticking your camera ( my crummy back up camera I might add ) in a waterproof pouch and snapping…

Turtle and snake action. I freaked out thinking I was accidentally banging into a water moccasin. The turtles were less than pleased about being disturbed.

    pictures… looks like it was a beautiful blue sky day, Calico.  🙂

    the lake was beckoning this weekend, but i’m sick and then my husband got another sore throat, so we’re both home, snuggled in afghans and the cat has made my lap her permanent home. except when the windows are open, then she’s up for a bit.
