Leaving for work the other morning. This couple was on my driver window. I hated to interrupt but I didn't have much choice.

It's Osprey Tuesday!!!

Taken an hour ago or so. Wind off the water. We have two nests now, one old school the other in a pine tree on the water. The Osprey's over the tree in the below pics are hovering. Magnificent fliers.

Sushi from today...endlessly fascinating predators.

From a recent visit to W.R. Hearst's former hilltop estate at San Simeon, CA.
It's a state park now...'Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument'...better known as 'Hearst Castle'.

What do they do with horse thieves these days?

This is Chip. He's a horse. He's a thief.

He shares a pasture with the horse my wife is using for her lessons. As she was retrieving her horse the other day, Chip came up to her and innocently nuzzled her. She didn't realize it right away, but he picked her pocket of a baggie of horse treats. She noticed as he was shaking the bag in his mouth, trying to get it open. She eventually got the bag away from him, she was afraid he was going to eat the plastic bag. But not before he ate most of the treats. He looks so innocent.

Last horse.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1717278229.jpg

My Sister wanted our pony, great little thing who won the Maryland Pony Breeders Cup over a decade ago, to use as a cart horse and lead line show pony for friends.

Better place.

So, the horse in the orange legging is a boarder, the horse behind her our last horse.

Fingers crossed.
