Ummm... not always pretty. But I'm a stubborn determined cuss at times and dogged persistence often proves fruitful. So. A non-working camera due to sheer stupidity (left it out in the rain over the weekend) and a trip to see baby horses. You know I'm a photo ho. Only one thing to do: turn to my cell phone with absolutely no idea how to get the pictures off the cell phone onto my computer. I know others do it so it must be possible, right?
So off we went to see the baby horses. Our interest is - well, besides the fact that baby horses are just so darn cute - the sire of these babies is also the sire of the baby horse to be at the barn. At least, we think the mare is pregnant. We hope the mare is pregnant. The sire is a Clydesdale/Friesian cross. We specifically wanted to see the shoulders on the babies to get some idea what to expect. Both Clydesdales and Friesians are big. You know. Big. The hopefully pregnant mare is an Appy who is not big. She's not tiny but she's definitely not in the Big category. The babies are even cuter than expected. Adorable. Curious. Photo worthy. I snapped away.
On the way home, we stopped at a cell phone store for an unrelated to me purpose. But I took advantage and asked the guy behind the counter how to get pictures off my phone and onto my computer. Turns out there is a micro SD card with an SD card adapter (yeah, I know, most of you already know that - but this is me, remember - the guy had to show me how to take the back off the phone, for cripes sake), so about $13 later, I have the technology in hand. Unfortunately, this cell phone is the least intuitive model I've had (and with dogs chewing them up, me leaving them on top of my car and driving off, and assorted other misphaps, I've had a lot of cell phone models). So I've been pushing buttons, googling instructions, pushing more buttons cause instructions don't match the stuff that shows up on my phone, sighing, cussing, and just generally persisting.
And I did it.
Ohmigod. Are they ever beautiful. I can see the draft horse bones in the body. They are going to be big honeys.
