What a gorgeous day outside today! I have a great assignment on a day like today – some family photographs. It is definitely a change from the weather of last Sunday. I have finished the edits from the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point, and have found a few images out of the drizzly day at the races.

These were taken while I was following the judges as they made their way by all the tailgaters as they had their cars and tables setup to host guests. The effort that went into these displays was amazing – so many colors of decorations, plates of food, and plenty of drinks to pass around! The judges had to discuss before declaring their winners. It had to have been a tough decision process.

Here are some of my favorites from following them around. Although it was a highly contested prize, everyone that participated were in good spirits. All in all the colorful dresses, hats, and ties brought a pop to a very gray day. Have a great weekend everyone!

Middleburg Hunt – Point to Point

Here are some of the photos from last Sunday’s Middleburg Hunt Point to Point. It was drizzling all day even though we had a weatherman on site! The weather did not dampen the spirits of the guests, however. There was plenty of food from some creative tailgates. The judging this year was tough with colorful decorations, and some unique themes. The “Mad Hatter” tailgate was particularly memorable for the costumes and the unique bottles of “potions”.

I also enjoyed seeing the best bonnet and best tie competitions in the afternoon. In addition to the setting, the dress also makes the event. Of course throwing a little competition in there makes the contestants go for the prize!

But the highlight for me is still the horse racing. I did not get as many shots of the racing this year since many of the finishes were too good to miss! The thundering sound of the horses coming to the end of the race had me riveted to the action. Here are some of my favorites from just after the races ended. Enjoy!

This Sunday, we went out to the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point races in Middleburg, VA. Last year was the first time we were invited to this beautiful event in the some of the most beautiful country that Virginia has to offer. Glenwood Park allows for a very open view of all the races. Not only is the racing action exciting, but there is a lot of activities in and around the track. You can go to the paddock to see the horses as their trainers and jockeys prepare them for races. You can browse the vendors that are in attendance for food and apparel appropriate for spending a nice day outside.

Most of all, you can view the spread of tail gates that are placed for competition around the perimeter of the track. There are beautiful displays and delicious food and drink arranged in traditional (served out of the back of a vehicle) and non-traditional categories. Last year did not have a cloud in the sky, this year was a little rainier. It did not dampen spirits around the track, and I tried to make some nice photos. While I edit those, here are some from last year’s Point to Point. Enjoy!
