Horses Saturday

Got a picture of Pete eating breakfast yesterday.

And one of Maddie watching him eat breakfast, until she turned and saw me.
Some photos from the old farm.
Two of our retirees at sunrise.

Laurie riding her mare Kate several years ago.

Before going for a ride, Laurie lunged Kate. Kate would perform her
"Airs Above The Ground" before settling down.

Kate at two weeks old.

Little kids loved Kate and she loved their attention.


Mama Misty in the lead.

Misty was a great mama. She gave us nine babies over the years.

Misty with her baby Maddie.

Then was when I met and married my wife. I very much appreciate your kind comments; however, I do not feel special. More like beholden to God's guidance along a twisty turning path that has led to this moment in time.
If there is anything special showing through my photography it's the gift
of evoking emotion in people who see goodness and beauty in my
images.

Thank You Kindly

George
