DUNCAN, THE HORSE


Wide-eyed thoroughbred
Looks past shutterbug antics
Carrot charisma.



Yes, that's me in the eye's
reflection. Took a drive out
Jamul way with my friend
Jan, the painter and benefactor
of Duncan, the horse. He and
his horse buddies have a great
life at this remote horse ranch.
Fresh air, great scenery, plenty
of hay, nice digs and lots of open
space to roam. It was a nice
and relaxing change from all
things oily. I like watching
horses and feeding them carrots.
The trick is to lay your palm out
flat with the carrot across it and
the horse with gently snag it avoiding
taking off a few fingers with their
giant teeth. They are herbivores, so
am I. We are kindred spirits.

'kindred spirits' is a line from Anne of Green Gables, you know. Oh! why don't you buy some books for Ava for her bday...you like books and she likes books.
Nice photo!
