Faith

"Faith"

I began August with an image of my two boys, Jordan and Caleb, basking in the square of sunlight falling on the kitchen floor, their bond as best buds already securely established in the short time Caleb had been with us. It seems, then, only fitting to end the dog days of August with an image of my best girl, Faith.

Once settled in here, I was missing having a dog, and found Faith at the shelter at our local humane society - the same place we adopted Jordan and Caleb from - where, at age five, Faith had already been back and forth to several times. She was my Christmas present that year. At age fourteen, Faith has been with me nearly nine years, and is the sweetest soul. She has a bit more trouble getting around these days, but still has all the exhuberance of her younger self. Though she seems rather serious here - her smile just lights my day, her presence a happy constant in my life.

A Good Cut

"A Good Cut"

Oh, the smell of fresh hay...(unless, of course, you have allergies)

This is an image I took a couple of summers ago in the hayroom of my barn after we put in a new load. It is a scene that I see several times a day, between morning and evening feedings, yet never tire of - the comforting, familiar sights and sounds and smells of being in that old barn with my horses.

Biplane Dusting

Upon reaching the main intersection at the end of our road the other day, my timing for once was fairly perfect. And, I had my camera with me.

I have enjoyed watching this guy fly his old biplane since I was a little kid. Today he was dusting the field diagonally across the road, flying straight at me as he manuvered it by buildings and power lines. This image was taken through my bug encrusted (you can't avoid it living out here) windshield. As for the crop dusting, I'm not advocating for or against it. But, boy, do I love that plane.

Thanks, Bud

"Thanks, Bud"

Of little girls and horses...

This piece is quite possibly the one of greatest sentimental value to me. A tender moment is exchanged between my then two year old daughter Michaela, and my beloved horse, Mi Choyce. In appreciation of her ride, Michaela marched directly into the hay room, came back with an armload of hay which she stuffed into his feed bucket, and patted him gently on the head.

That inexplicable connection between little girls and horses, captured in this heartwarming image. An enduring reminder of one of the simplest of joys, friendship.
