new orleans | mardi gras 2010

March 9, 2010 | Filed Under events, travels | 1 Comment 

i’ve been to new orleans many times when i was younger but never for mardi gras….until this year. it was everything i had been told it would be; pure chaos. here are just a few images from the trip.

a couple of the images are from my point-n-shoot camera because i was afraid to take my big rig into the drunken debauchery at night. please excuse their poor quality.

red hills horse trials 2010

March 7, 2010 | Filed Under events | Leave a Comment 

red hills horse trials is an annual (with the exception of last year) 3 day equestrian event taking place in tallahassee, florida. i look forward to it every year because to me, its a marker for the change of the season. i love the weather, the people, the horses, the events and the exhibitors,but most of all…i love the funnel cake! :)

day one is dressage which i missed but i got to enjoy the perfect springy weather on saturday and sunday. saturday was cross country racing and today was stadium jumping. here are a few shots from this weekend:
