Sunday Stills ~ Potluck

 

This week’s Sunday Still's Challenge was basically just to head out and take photos of anything that caught our eye…a Potluck of sorts.

Well I wish I would have thought to take photos of the actual potluck spread that was at last weekend’s Competitive Trail Ride fireside dinner. Mmmm! Green Chile Stew, Texas Chili, cornbread muffins, and Death by Chocolate cake, among many other delicious items.

But I didn’t take any photos as I was too busy eating it all. haha!

So here’s what I’ve got to share with y’all instead:

The peacock was very awesome! I have to say though that all of the pictures were just great!

Jocelyn said...

wow those pictures are stunning ! Loved the cat in glass one

Unknown said...

The last one is amazing! Such patterns and colours.

I missed your comments. I am glad ranchman john got a job though! It's tough out there right now.

As of right now my trip to Ireland is kind of in the air due to the volcanic eruptions. Do we risk going there and not being able to fly back due to another eruption?

Michelle said...

Oh my, I'm speechless. These shots are stunning. I particularly love the mountain lion reflection, it's so unique a perspective. But I must admit, I gasped at each one as I scrolled down and they just kept getting better! Well done!

LuLo Designs/Blue Eyed Tango said...

Wow Lisa, awesome photos. My favorite is the peacock! I have one but not as nice as that one.....the thing kept turning around every time I zoomed in to take the photo! Well done on all of them!

CTG Ponies said...
