A Repost From Eight Years Ago~More Pictures...Fewer Words

It is...was a beautiful day. Warm, windy, and did I say wonderfully, comfortingly warm!
No snow, no rain, only mud left over from both.

Started at the barn with my four God-Given equine treasures.

(Refer to previous post, My Mistakes, My Glories.)
All not recently groomed with their winter coats.

As you can see the wind is blowing.

I took pictures of Arrow's whorls so I can get them read by some whorl experts (y'all!). 

In this picture you can see plainly why he is dubbed Broken Arrow.

Knot was too busy eating to smile for the camera.

It was a day for muck boots, not these!
 It was warm enough that the mud felt quite wonderful pouring through all the holes
while I was trying to keep my balance.

Then we walked.

One of five ponds we have. This is the New pond, meaning it was built in the last twenty years. We also have the Top Pond, the Highline Pond, the Frog or Hog Pond and the Spring Pond.

Another hidden jewel

Help! I've lost my feet!
The sky darkens!

Enjoyed the day and took many pictures.

and found my feet!

This post was written eight years ago, two months after I entered the blogosphere. Circumstances may have changed but I think I may be about the same.

Happy Holidays!

Early Morning Walk

The morning sun greeted me as I traveled the valley.  The dew was still on the grass and fog was low on the ground.  It was just around seven and a sweater would have felt good.  The air was crisp and fresh and the grass is greening up again.

The fog on the pond reminded me of the Creature From The Black Lagoon but I didn't see him, although he could have been there.  The dogs were finding great smells and enjoying hunting for any critters they could find.

The sun, coming over the mountain, was breathtaking.  The images in the pond were almost as clear as the actual objects.  The rain has filled the pond to overflowing again and I am so grateful.

There is just something about the morning light that makes every shot look good.  I love the brightness and the shadows and the quiet of a morning walk.

I am spotted by Arrow and the horses quickly surround me in hopes of treats.  I scratch them and hug them and bury my nose in their hair to enjoy the smell of a horse...nothing in the world, to me, smells as sweet.
