Quality Photos from Gretchen Pelham
Check back often to see photos from the Tennessee Valley Hunt and local horse events posted! Most of the hunting shots I take are from the saddle. Talk about multi-tasking! I carry a Canon 20D with a 300 zoom lens (my favorite). Flying mud and wacking branches are a risk when I don't have time to move the camera before we gallop off. I have discovered shoving the camera down the front of an over-large melton works better! I'm not brave enough to jump coops with the camera but I do gallop in Hilltoppers with it. I have a few great "tripods" as mounts - currently Henry is First Tripod.
Be sure to move the cursor over the image of the picture using the slide show to reveal any description of the event. I can print small, blank note cards in a set of 12 of any image you want. I also have several card sets of different photos.
May 2009 TVH Trail Ride: Had a fun romp around Carrine's beautiful Yorkshire Rose farm in Luttrell. Julie Shudzba gave us some entertainment before we left. But not to worry - she is just fine! Well, not counting the impressive bruises and scrapes she now sports.
April update: My Anglo-Trakehner mare delivered a Hennessey colt, Hamlet. Very cute!

Tropical Plants
These are pics of Bert's passion, tropical plants. The name will tell you where I took the pic - all the ones named TN are from our farm. I call the house and yard Bert Cay! The others are from the Fl Keys and other nice warm places we've been.
