Just Bijou and I

First of all, I think it's great that so many people are blogging! I can hardly keep up!!!

Anyways, on Friday when I got home from school, I took Bijou out for a short ride. My mum, as you all already know, is quite sick so she opted not to go. However, I'm glad that I went out because I had a great ride. :)

When I went out I decided to bring the camera with me and was determined to take a picture of myself using the self-timer mode. If any of you have ever tried this, it is not an easy thing to do! You only have 10 seconds to press the button and then race in front of the camera, smile and look pretty. Again, not easy. However, I have found (if any of you are going to try LOL) that it is much harder to press button --> mount (you can only take about 5 seconds), and then ---> race in front of the camera with the rest of the 5 seconds (all the while making your horse stand still to take the picture and of course smile!!!). Instead, it is MUCH MUCH easier to find something to put the camera on while you are still on your horse and then press button --> ride in front of the camera-->smile and look pretty.

Anyways, here is my first attempt!
As you can see, it didn't work out so well...














So I tried again, but then the flash
buggered up the picture...













And finally, I figured it out! I found this perfectly sized rock (not too big, not too small).....













and TA DA!!!!










All in all, it was a fun adventure :) I'm hoping to go riding today too, but we will just have to see....
