Welcome to Stone Dragon Farm!
My name is Sunny, and Stone Dragon Farm is my home. It's a very small "farm" consisting of just over 1 acre, with 7 miniature horses, 1 miniature donkey, and too many cats (mostly rescues)!
I play with my horses and my cameras, and work when I have to. (Maybe someday I'll hit the lotto where all I'll have to do then is PLAY.)
My Horses
My horses consist of 3 AMHA registered minis, 2 geldings and a mare, and 4 AMHR horses, 2 mares, 1 2009 filly, and 1 gelding. The new filly is Symphony in Silk, a lovely sorrel filly foaled April 19th, 2009, to Ladyhawk. She's a character, with a lot of personality and a temper, too! She now has her own photo album.
I also have one miniature Mediterranean donkey, Frontier Legends' Kit Carson (Kit for short).
Due to financial and health considerations, I am listing Ladyhawk, her 4 year old daughter Kittyhawk, and the donkey, Kit, for sale. Ladyhawk is priced at $1500, Kittyhawk is $600, and Kit is $400. These are bargain prices for quality equines. Once I get Kittyhawk well started at driving (if it EVER dries out here!), she will be off the market.
My Cats
I have an overabundance of felines at the moment! I rescued a pregnant cat from an uncaring neighbor (while the cat was delivering kittens on some old hay in the bed of my pickup. After the kittens were weaned, they were destined for an adoption program, and mom was supposed to be my barn cat. Due to the inability of any of the adoption programs to take the kittens, they wound up growing up here. (I'm still hoping some of them will find a home elsewhere!) The barn cat wound up being a house cat when a group of coyotes moved into the area. So, I have 12 housecats (including my own cats)! At least the horses live outside!
My Photography
I play at photography. My long-term goal is to become a top-notch amateur photographer. I photograph horses, cats, livestock, flowers, pretty much anything that strikes my fancy. I even get a keeper shot now and then. (I'm hoping to go back to school soon. I need to learn a LOT more about photography, especially the technical aspects. I have the vision. I just don't have the knowledge of how to get there from here. I'm working on that!)
Check out my gallery. There are some not-so-great shots, some ok shots, some pretty good shots, and here and there a WOW! shot. I'll be adding photos from time to time.
365 in 2009 Photo Challenge
My photography forum, Elements Village, has begun a photo challenge for 2009. A photo for every day of the year, taken for one of 365 themes (although we can come up with our own theme up to 52 times throughout the year). My photos for the challenge are posted on my weblog. Check the Links page for a link to it, to see my 2009 photos so far. (There's also a link to each of the other challengers, so you can see all of their challenge photos, too!)
Well, sometimes life gets in the way! I just posted the first photo since August. Just a bit behind, ya think? I hope this is an annual thing, as I'd love to try again later--maybe next year???
