winter market










It's been so cold and dreary lately;
I thought tinderheart could use some color.

Fittingly, these pictures were taken just last February
on the town square of Staufen, Germany.
Two mornings each week, vendors roll out carts filled 
with with flowers, vegetables, cured meats, and even some hand-crafted items.

I can't quite say which I enjoyed more,
photographing these glorious delights,
or watching the shoppers fill their wicker baskets
and ride away on their bicycles.

baby bump







To watch and feel her foal
moving around inside this mamma's belly
was the greatest thrill I have experienced
in quite a while!

Stay tuned...

horse sense and mules


















"My favorite animal is the mule.
He has more horse sense than a horse.
He knows when to stop eating --
and he knows when to stop working."

moment




The essential joy of being with horses
is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements
of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire.
