I like taking pictures and the majority of pictures I take are outdoors. I have a site where I post my pictures. Mainly sky pictures. I like clouds and sky-type pics for that site. Go to

Oh, thanks for that picture! We were living outside Ellensburg - my hub was working for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service there, I was momming & writing. Berry picking, elk hunting, etc, for about 2 years. A good time in life.
I'm sorry to hear about the pony vandalism - not sure we ever actually went up there. Thank goodness, like you said, they're still beautiful from afar. Here's a bit of background:
"The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes. Titled Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies, the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake." http://blog.oregonlive.com/terryrichard/2007/09/wild_horse_sculpture_catches_e.html

I love the ponies. I believe at one time it was called 'Grandfather lets loose the ponies' I have walked up to the horses--great view. They have been so vandalized thank goodness you can't see it from the road. I don't remember the story about the artist and the ledgend of the ponies but there is one. What were you all doing when you lived over there? MB

Ahh, I remember that view well, MB. We used to live about 20 miles west of Vantage. One night, driving home late from MJ's Farm, I saw more mice crossing that stretch of road than I have ever seen in my life! No surprise, there were a few coyotes and owls too. Have you ever seen the sculpture of the ponies atop the cliffs on the east side of the I-90 crossing?
What were you up to in Ritzville?

I have some pictures that I took out the front window of my apartment. My crabapple tree is starting to leaf out. As soon as I have a chance at the computer that has my camera program on it- I will post some pictures!

Marybeth-
What beautiful skies! I love taking Sky pictures since the sky is never the same twice. After the storm skies are always beautiful.
Thanks so much for sharing!

Those are some beautiful sky pictures, Marybeth. I especially like the ones that are dark and mysterious.

Hey Jo! So glad you shared the photo over here. If you've got more, I know we'd all love to see them (hint, hint). My hub & I have dreamed of Alaska for years. In '99, we almost took a job counting salmon at a weir on the Sturgeon River in SE Alaska, but USFWS wouldn't let us take our crippled dog into grizz country & I couldn't leave him behind. Doors open, doors close. Funny life...

Marybeth-
I have gone to your photo album. You pictures are great! I love how nature inspires us to capture its fleeting moments with a camera. The Sky is an amazing subject- literally there is never the same sky twice! I can’t wait to see what else you capture with your camera!
