Weekly Photo Challenge: Satisfaction

It’s quite difficult to decide if our horses, Tango and Mario, were more satisfied on their seaside ride than we were. Though, I know that Tango – my son’s horse – hands down loved this beautiful bay in Anguilla. He wouldn’t budge for a good 15 minutes, once in…

For The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge, Satisfaction.

Does it get any better than this in life? Oh wait…

Beautiful Cove Bay, Anguilla.

Maundays Bay, Anguilla. A first for my son (and me!). His horse Tango, we’re told, adores the water. Can you blame him?

Ahhhhhhhh……

Yes, this is where it perhaps doesn’t get any better 🙂

Thursday Doors, July 20: Of Hobbits and Trees and such…

It’s easy to feel extremely humbled, and quite a bit miniature, when walking through a grove of Coast Redwoods in California’s Muir Woods National Monument…especially where the Redwoods create natural doors, inviting us in for a biscuit and tea, perhaps.

And in scouring my photos on my Mac, I came across a couple others that were “hobbit” inspiring…

For this week’s doors challenge….

Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), Muir Woods California: My 6’2″ tall nephew and son could call it home perhaps. While the redwoods here are a bit smaller than their Giant Sequoia cousin, they still are an amazing 250 or so feet tall, and over 500 years old (the oldest here is 1200 years old!) This is an all time favorite place of mine in the world.

My hobbit son 🙂 Nah, he’s actually well over six feet tall!
