Day 90

 

Not a new picture in fact it was taken in 2003.

 

but a poignant reminder today of a funny looking colt which I loved

 

Trapped in a stable,  the happiest of all my equines when I decided to allow them to live out.

He would present me with broken bits of hardware that he had trashed in his attempts to maintain his freedom.

 

Finbar of Old Kilgobbin..........a legend in my books.

No. 90 ... Frayed around the edges

Photo No. 90

These flowers thrive around the letterbox of my next-door neighbour.

They're as bright as sunshine regardless of the weather.

Even now as their petals curl and wilt, they still make me smile.
