Happy Tootsday. Taking a Breath Again


             We came upon these horses somewhere in the American west on a June day in 2016. I would like to hazard that it was Montana, but am not sure. It could have been any of several states. My daughter would know, but she is in the lab today as I write this little note.
            I thought it was just a pleasant, restful scene. Roots stuff. It would be very nice to be there again.
            I remember that the older horses were very protective of the little one there.
            The photo was taken by Rachel A. Bird, since I was driving.
            All threads at the MEOW are open threads, and this is another one.
            Your comments will be received gratefully.
