Horses And Quackodiles

Sometimes it's hard to find something to write about. I was thinking that I should always write about the events that happened when I took whatever pictures I decided to share. The problem with that is that sometimes there's just not much to it.

I took the pictures of this horse through my truck window while I was on an old dirt road. I wanted to share this horse with everyone from the start, but there isn't much more to the story than that. So I floundered around wasting about a week while my blog sat still. That was never the plan.

You see, awhile ago I decided to stop sharing my little health updates because they have really mostly become irrelevant to me. And they also began to sound like whining to me. But I have been doing it for so long that the subject had become a habit. And it was a habit I wanted to break.

This blog is supposed to be about the things I like, such as nature, with a bit of strangeness thrown in to make it fun. So I can begin talking about a horse, and then drift off into some other strange subject that doesn't have much to do at all with that subject when I finish. That's the fun of a blog. You can say whatever you want!

And I'm going to try to begin to remember that from now on. Maybe that will push me to begin writing more again. My number one rule has always been to write whatever strange thing that comes to my mind first, such as quackodiles!

What is a quackodile? I have no idea. Maybe you know. But wouldn't it be fun to try to describe one? Who knows? maybe one day I'll write a story about them.

For now I'll just sit here and admire this horse. I wonder if I'll see it again the next time I go down that old dirt road. There are a few other horses there. Maybe I'll pick one of them as my next subject. I'm still on the hunt for buffaloes too. I know they're out there.

  2. A very pretty horse. Maybe tomorrow while I'm out I'll travel down a dirt road and get some shots of horses. I'll also be on the lookout for a quackodile

  4. Oh, I so love the horse picture, you have captured its inner emotions so well, it is like talking to us. I am like you too, sometimes, I am stopped to write because I think so much what to write :( Quackodiles are like us, loves to enjoy nature freely and expressing the joy through quack quack :) haha! I hope that makes sense :)

  5. That is a very beautiful horse. I really like the first photo where he is looking directly at you Ratty. I have enough problems deciding which photos to use for a post, it would be even harder to come up with a story.

    I posted a few quacks today but no odiles, I'll keep looking for those.

  7. Fantastic photos of this beautiful horse!

    It's ok to mention about your health once in a while, Ratty, since it's also part of sharing. I'm among your other readers would like to know that you're doing well after that accident! It's not whining at all..

    They have to learn all the languages.
