Hey, Remember Summer?

Note: This is day eight of my 30-day blogging challenge. What the heck is a 30-day blogging challenge? Read about it here. 



Yesterday I was browsing through my photo library looking for an image of something or other that led me through an archive of summery looking photos. I caught myself daydreaming a bit as I scrolled through, remembering what it was like to go outside and not have the cold air immediately slap me in the face.



It’s only January. There’s a lot of winter yet to go. So let’s ignore it for a minute and just look at photos of foals, horses in the green grass, sunshine and other happy scenes. It’ll be like this again one day. I just know it.

  • Beautiful pictures, I can almost hear those hooves jump making music to only my ears. At least, in the winter we do not have to deal with those pesky flies and bugs, but that grass sure looks good.
