Thanks Joy, Aimee and Michelle.
I took this at a farm we visited when some area friends and others got together for a BP Omaha shoot recently. It was early morning here, Michelle, and very pleasant at that hour. I guarantee he didn't feel or look so fresh two hours later -- by mid-afternoon we were all wilting. #8815084
