Since all my photos from the past few years are on my computer (and yes, they’re backed up frequently), it’s easy to look back at them. And there are some that always make me smile. I thought it would be fun to share some of those from time to time.
Let me set this one up for you:
Every summer, Motor Man and I go to Cambridge, Maryland for a boat race. The race site is at a beautiful park on the Choptank River.
A few years ago at the race, horse and wagon rides were being offered around the park.
Even though Motor Man and I usually take horse and carriage/wagon rides whenever they’re available, we didn’t ride this particular time. But we did enjoy looking at the horses. Aren’t they beauties?
I asked permission of the man in charge of the horses to pet them, and he agreed. Actually I think he said that they would really like that.
And this is the picture that always makes me smile.
Apparently the horse on the right was super friendly and decided to give me a nudge with his big ol’ nose. And that wedged me between him and the other horse. And Motor Man caught it all on film. Well, he caught it all on a digital camera chip.
And it’s good for a smile. Every time.
these days of mine 
Smiles are contagious…most definitely!
Guess you were slowing down on the petting….Do you have one of you with the Budweiser horses? I have it somewhere on my computer but you KNOW how organized I am!
Love that picture-it made me smile too!
what a beautiful, happy picture!
Got me smilin’ … !
He’s coming in for a good rub…not hug. Cute picture.
Beautiful!
I love it! The horses are great. It does get a smile out of you.
Oh I love draft horses! The glossy shine of the second photo is great.
It’s my first time here and I’ve enjoyed checking out your blog, thanks for sharing.
Definitely would love to have shared that moment. I miss my horses, so much.
God really has a knack for creating beautiful creatures.
