Although not from very high, it was still fun to photo these two jumping off the platform at the Apple Barn in Moses Cone.

It’s about time to post my boy up here. Max has been with me for 4 years now and has been with me while I’ve taken just about every photo and certainly on every hike.

First Day Out

This little robin decided to make his first leap out of the nest and landed just a few feet from me in my yard.  While it would have been great to see him leave the nest, the time he spent posing (I didn’t check to see that it was a he, just guessing by the look) was well worth being there.

Three At Work

Gentle Giants. There’s no other way I can describe these horses. Hard working and exceptionally well trained to act on voice command and by gentle tugs on their plow harness. Amazing creatures.
