Thanks to everyone...I am glad you could see the silliness of this photo. I laughed and laughed when I got home and looked at him again.
Well, I am heading to CA tomorrow so will not be posting for a while. I am meeting for the first time a wonderful gal that I met through BP and instantly bonded with. We are going to comb Venice Beach and other places for those perfect shots...maybe we will even get lucky enough for a Better Photo of the Day...LOL I wish I could visit and meet with all of the wonderful friends that I have met through BP.
Happy Shooting this week!

Good morning... (6.57 am - Meg is up since 6 am)
I am up pretty late theis days since Megan is under the wether with a virus for 2 weeks now. So I work at night and take care of her during the day :0)

How fun if we could meet up in July... Denmark is the size of a stamp as you know, so it's not hard at all Ha ha... Might even just run into you by change :0)

Have a great day and a wonderful trip. Venice Beach, huh. I am green with envy... :0)

Thanks so much Kathy...actually this photo just placed in a worldwide Equestrian contest. I was pretty surprised as there were some out of this world images that were submitted. I think what got me the win was the fact that it was silly and that I had put a funny title on it. LOL

You have fabulous horse photos. Feel free to contact me at meliso49@comcast.net if you are interested. Have a wonderful day!
