All I want for Christmas

This guy wants my camera.

Went riding in the snow for the first time!

Very slippery.

Princess was mad at me, cos I laughed at her when she slipped... lol

Funny that some animals have egos and can get embarrassed just like us.

It must be. How else can I explain this high-maintenance 30 something suddenly trying to be a cowboy and competing with 8yo girls in a horse show?

Horse Show @ the Starlight Stables!

Up up up, up to the hay loft.

No frills Missouri: contestants were identified by paper plates stuck on their back.

Say "UP!" and pull it.

My boy Pumpkin is sweet.

My girl Princess is crazy fast: good for barrel racing :)

My Western saddle. See the horn, it's for cowboys to tie his rope.

See, I'm not kidding. All 8yo girls... they say because riding "is a girl thing".

How did I get my ribbons? Carrots as bribes!

Hey Mr Pumpkin

This is Pumpkin, the first horse I've ever ridden :)

Gentle and chilled, this chestnut Pinto is the perfect horse for beginners.

We somehow have amazing chemistry. He actually likes me. hehe

They say that he gets all perky whenever I'm around lol

Surprise surprise. I can cantor him like no other, even though he's known to be a lazy boy.

If I ride another horse, he'd look at me all sad... haha I can tell!

Ode to Pumpkin.

Thanks for making me feel special :)

Lady Gaga Halloween

Like Madonna (and most people), I have no clue what a disco stick is, but this Halloween *is* Lady Gaga Halloween ~

So I joined the crowd and poke my face :)

Those damn rings kept falling apart :S

I somehow managed to break most of the sewing needles that hold the rings together - amazing.

do you have any...

iPhone

Funny that so many people "congratulated" me for getting an iPhone. and "welcomed" me into their world.

I just hope I'd never become one of those people, who go to restaurants with friends but don't actually talk to each other because everyone's on their own iPhone...

But for now, I'm happy to travel light everyday :)

Freaky lit' Spider

Love the DSLR manual mode!

I tried to bring out the whole web by spraying water over it, but those droplets didn't stay quite long enough to catch the reflection of the moon...

[ what it looks like with flash ]

This spider has been hunting right outside my door for a week now. I came home one evening to find it weaving a new web, systematically zipping up and down with amazing precision.

A truely incredible creature :)

The first one has some quality of Chinese watercolor painting. It looks as if the moon is floating on a sea of clouds.

The second picture, on the other hand, has more mystery to it.
