Sunday Stills Challenge: Horses

This is a photo challenge themed meme, hosted by Ed of Sunday Stills.

This group of bloggers who join Sunday Stills, mostly own a ranch if not, own horses, and this is quite an easy challenge for them. I am a city girl, but that does not mean that there are no horse ranches here in SoCal. I live just about 7 miles from the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, so that could have been an easy task for me to do a photo shoot. This week has been quite hectic and weekends are spent on other commitments. So here’s my improvised post of the theme.

Has anyone heard of Santa’s horses? I know Santa has reindeers for his carriage sleigh plying from the North Pole delivering gifts. Ho, ho, ho!

Santa's Horse Carriage

After I got off from work at the Metro train station at 4:30 pm at Universal City, where I park my car, I took the free shuttle bus to the Universal City Walk, and it is free admission.  My purpose was to watch the sunset, however, there was no good view. As I walk around the park, I was delighted to see this! Hey, my entry for this challenge!

Flying Horse

I did not know horse could fly!!

This is a restaurant/bar and this is NOT a paid ad. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The place is well adorned and decorated.

I leave  you with well wishes for the weekend and enjoy!

Note: All photos can be enlarged by clicking once, and click one more time.  I do not photoshop  (unless it is a challenge) or use any editing media to alter the colors.

    Hi Ebie,
    Only you could find horses pulling Santa’s sleigh! Those Poinsettias are beautiful. Love your SWF sunset, too. I’m in Park City, UT. We head to Nat’l Park on Mon. Missed concert – EJ and BJ didn’t show! Bob was really disappointed – didn’t they know it was his b-day?? Glad Zee will soon be home.

    The color in these pictures is just amazing. I wish I had just a touch of the skill it takes to accomplish that without editing. Bravo.

    Wow, who knew Santa had a stable of horses. I’ll bet the reindeer get jealous. The photos are great.

    love it! No one said it had to be live horses! I had to go with the none breathing versions as well. They make just as nice a picture as the living kind! Well done!
