Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

Playing with pictures


 So I have been participating in "a photo a day " on FB . Mostly I post  my pics as is ,or Straight out of the camera ,never been much good at editing other that to crop . But I have been trying a few things . Some I like, some I prefer as they were and some ,well...







(trying to cover some stains,didn't really work, but I like the effect)



 no edit on this other than cropping 

kind of liked the effect here 

And this one is unedited as well, because , well "That Richie mare, doesn't ever take a bad pic

Some goings on around here to write about ,but for now
Stay safe and warm my friends

Love the header - it is fun to mess around with the pictures but you are right the best ones are those that don't need any editing.... Happy weekend!

I too love the header! And it sure is amazing what can be done with all the editing!

Awesome header ! Nice photos to ! I like to edit and play around with my photos now to but most of them are just as they were taken . I use Light room for my editing I have Photoshop but I find it confusing right now Light room is easier ! Have a good day !

Fun. It's funny because somehow that gray and black edging (I forget what they call it) makes the snow feel even colder.

It's fun, isn't it? I like the first stalking kitty pic, and the boyz having a romp.

I love playing around with photos. There are so many online video editors which makes it easy. Also love the header. The kitty is my favorite, I'm just kind of partial to them ;-)

Awe sometimes editing is over rated! :). I think you're photos are great either way!

I'm with Nicole on this one, I love your photos any way you want to do them. I scrolled down and caught up a bit. I so enjoyed your year in review Jan - June the pics tell such a good story it was like being along for the ride.....I liked part two too:)
