Day 76 - 03/17/13

I found some of my favorite weeds today.  Love the colors.

Kaylen and I went to Claude Lipsomb's farm to see his Black and Blue Quarter Horses and longhorns.  His father, Mr. Ira, loved longhorns and always had them.  I can't say I've ever seen any others in the South.  I've only seen longhorns in Texas.

They have to have really strong necks to handle that load of horns.

This is Claude's handsome stallion.  He came runnung up to the fence and took my breath away.  I think he was longingly looking at the mares on the other side.  I don't know a thing about horses, but isn't he the prettiest?

Hi Laura,

These are all such wonderful shots. I can't believe the size of those horns. And I must say those are the most beautiful weeds I have ever seen. And what a great shot of that little one. She is a cutie pie for sure.
