Sunday Walk


Jo and I (and the dogs) usually take our afternoon walk around four o'clock. With the end of Daylight Savings Time, our Sunday walk was actually taken an hour later than Saturday's. There was a dramatic diffenence in the sun's intensity and the length of shadows. The photo above is our road out -- our driveway -- about three quarters of a mile from the house. It is up near the gate, which is normally open, and is our "turn around" point where we reverse course and head back to the house. This is one of the best sections of our road because it's relatively flat and isn't prone to washing out.



Our driveway is technically a county road. It runs through land owned by our closest neighbor. Most of it is wooded, although he's partially cleared a few sections like this one where his horse, Pretty Boy, is grazing.

Jerry Joe's Horses















From March, 2007



Jerry Joe's horses up on the pasture north of our place. He usually keeps the horses closer to his house.

Jerry has had the mare for several years. A year or so ago she had a colt. (We tried to get some photos of the colt when it was younger, but the mare wouldn't allow it. She always took the colt so far away from us that getting a shot was impossible.) I don't know when Jerry Joe got the other two horses.

When we first walked up onto the pasture, the colt wanted to come over for a visit, but our dogs didn't want to be friendly. They barked and raise a ruckus until it left.
