The Post Where I Pretend I am Pioneer Woman
I am not sure if I have ever mentioned how much I admire Ree, aka Pioneer Woman, and her photography. Not that it really *needs* to be mentioned, seeing as this is all like a universal truth or something and who *really* needs to mention a universal truth, right? Well, I kinda feel like I do since 1) I got the opportunity to meet Ree at SXSW and she was pretty much what you get when you look “nice” up in the dictionary, and 2) I use some of her Photoshop actions regularly, and 3) I went on a horse-drawn sleigh ride today and took a bunch of horse photos and felt like an uber-impostor.
So, with all that out of the way, I can actually show you the impostor photos from our sleigh ride in Winter Park today and we all know that *I* know they are nowhere near as nice as Ree’s but I still really enjoyed taking them, proving to the cosmos that you actually *can* take this city girl out into the woods – especially when the trip includes hot cocoa and roasted marshmallows. Yeah, that’s the kind of ranch life I can handle.
Rest of Sleigh Ride set is here.
Back to the city tomorrow.
Um, if we can make it through all that SNOW.
Btw- those are Belgian Horses.
I know, I used to be horsey. Then I moved to motorcycles. Much more city friendly.
Lovely pictures – you did very well. I was hoping you’d have some to check out. Thanks!
Have a safe drive home tomorrow.
Yes! Our guides told us that! Of course it went in one ear and out the other and I totally forgot till you mentioned it. They also told us a ton about these and their other horses. It was basically a private tour because no one else braved the weather today! Very cool.
Love the pics, especially where Declan puts his hand up to the horses!!
While I also admire Ree and her many skills, you are someone to admire in your own right. Please don’t forget that. xo
Sizzle, you are such an awesome friend. And thanks Megan.
Great pics and good luck! – m
I love Ree’s photos too and use her actions a lot.
Nice shot there Aimee.
err. That should be SHOTS. There are all lovely.
;D
DAMN impressive!!! You give her a run for her money with these!!
Beautiful! Hope you made it home! We have been buried in snow up here…about 15 inches in town and twice as much on the mtn, and more to come sunday night!!!
Gorgeous horses! Gorgeous photos!
Great shots – looks like so much fun. One day I want to go for a sleighride – but will have to leave the country to do it 🙂
Aimee, compared to anyone, anywhere, that first picture especially grabbed me so hard and I love it so much. I’m biased but I know and love your eye and you just, so often, catch what it’s clear only you could have seen.
They’re all beautiful – and like most great pictures, they made me want to be right there. xo.
These are lovely and beautiful and really capture what a nice time you guys had on your break.
Great pics. Such cool looking horses!
horses and snow and fire and marshmallows and cocao? hello, my name is envy!
um…your photos are gorgeous – who are you kiddin’ – (ree is proud)- beautiful shots, beautiful processing and it looked like so much fun. so there.
ohhh, love these.
