Man riding his Palomino, Cronan Ranch, Pilot Hill, California.
Yes, I am definitely “hooked on horses” lately! I couldn’t resist capturing this guy riding his horse through this little opening in the oaks. It already had a mysterious look to the scene. So, I decided to add to that look, by doing a little experimenting in Adobe Lightroom 2.1.
To get this look, I used the “Direct Positive” preset, which gave it the color tone. Then, I set the “Clarity” to -100 in the Develop Module. That gave it the dreamy, mysterious look.

Man horseback riding on the Long Valley Trail, Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, California.
Horseback riding doesn’t get any better than this. These two were out for a Sunday ride, on one of several Cronan Ranch Trails, the Long Valley Trail. The trails here offer spectacular views, access to the American River, wide-open spaces and a whole lot more.
For more information on the Cronan Ranch, click on the El Dorado County category on the sidebar of this blog.

Woman riding her horse at the Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, California.
If you are looking for a great place to trailer your horse in the Sierra Foothills, be sure to check out the Cronan Ranch. It offers 12-miles of multi use trails, plenty of parking and it’s FREE! You can also ride your horse right down to the South Fork of the American River and have a picnic. I sure wish I had a place like this to ride, when I had my horse!
The Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park is located on the corner of Hwy 49 and Pedro Hill Rd. in Pilot Hill. You can download a copy of the Cronan Ranch Trails Park Guide here.

Three Amigos horseback riding at the Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, California.
This photo needed a lot of help, before I could put it on the Blog. First of all, it was taken at the worst possible time of day; just a little past noon at the beginning of our hike.
I went ahead and took this photo anyway, because I really liked the composition and the story telling image that it is. It tells a story of three amigos heading out for a trail ride at the Cronan Ranch. [click to continue…]

Group of women horseback riding at the Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, California.
Wow, I didn’t realize there was more than 1 all female group out for a trail ride that day.
If I remember correctly, this group does this every year on New Year’s Day. Sounds good to me. Anyone have an extra horse for next year?

Group of women having fun riding their horses, Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, California.
While I was photographing Donna & Maya at the cabin, this group of women on horseback came loping towards us. It actually felt like the makings of another movie!
It was great fun photographing these women. They just happened to be 1 group out of many this size or larger, that were riding at the Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park on New Year’s Day.
I have to admit, there were several times during this hike that I wished I had a horse again! Having owned a horse for 16 years was one of the best experiences in my life. But, for now, I just enjoy being around them!
If anyone knows these women, please send me an email. Thank you!

Jeff and War Commander kicking up a little dust at Hidden Creek Ranch, Harrison, Idaho
Howdy!
Jeff and I are in the process of making some major changes to our Website. You won’t notice anything different at this time, unless you try to purchase an image. We hope to have this project completed and the dust settled by the end of next week.
In the meantime, if you would like to order prints, or license our images, please let us know by sending us an email at sherri@sherrimeyer.com.
Thank you,
Jeff & Sherri

Wild Sierra Iris growing along the Poppy Loop Trail at Hidden Falls Regional Park, in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, Auburn, California
One year ago this past Thursday, Jeff and I spent our 25th anniversary adventuring in Cabo San Lucas. This year we spent it adventuring in our own neck-of-the-woods. Although it wasn’t near as wild as our week in Cabo, it was wild of a different nature.
It was wild as in “wildflowers.”

Couple horseback riding on the Quarry Road Trail, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
When Jeff, Kim and I dropped down into the American River Canyon via historic highway 49 on Monday, we were shocked and disappointed at the amount of people out and about.
