Beautiful sunflowers from Frank and Susan. Of course, the Van Gogh reference is clear! I have never seen the round ones “in the flesh” before, but Van Gogh had clearly used them as his inspiration. What a lovely gift.

The Dragonfly Ranch

June 29, 2019

I had a lovely time today playing with Bella, the wise Andalusian mare. Her eye is so bright and alive and she was mentally present for every minute of our session together. She had a lovely long stride and a beautiful bend in her ribs today. I love it!

Fox cubs

2 of the 3 fox cubs were out playing this evening. If I stand quietly they will get quite bold and frolic about as if I were not even there. I see some fox paintings in my future!
