Sunday Stills



I do believe the theme this week is animals of husbandry. Since I'm not exactly sure what Ed meant by that I decided to wing it big time. I actually went out to a working ranch here on Thursday hoping to get some pictures, but all of their animals of husbandry were in the back pastures and not accessible by the public. So I headed to my very large archives looking for some specific pictures.

We used to live on the working ranch referenced in the previous paragraph and would walk the dogs there every night. So we would frequently run into animals of husbandry. Sometimes it was fun other times, not so much. This was one of our friends, Picasso. This horse would see us enter the ranch and come running from wherever he was. I am really not a horse person but I loved this guy and would have bought him in a heartbeat. He was only about 2 years old and not broken.



One thing that Picasso really loved was the dogs. Here he is trying to say Hi to Nala. That other horse was not as nice as Picasso so we were trying to keep him away. One of the things I absolutely loved about Picasso was his half white mane. I love that!!!


So did I do okay Ed?? I got 2 horses, 1 dog, and a husband. Does that count :)
