The ground was still damp from earlier rain when I spent the evening with Skywalker and the band he follows; those smudges of dirt on his hip and cheek and elsewhere are fresh. š He always seems so quiet and self-contained. … He’s a pretty peaceful guy.
See all those light bits in the air? Gnats and bitty flies and other insecty buggers. The moisture has brought out clouds of them.

The moisture makes us all happy … two-legged, four-legged and wing-ed?! š
The force is with Him!
I wish it could be with many more! š
Last year for the first time I saw may flies out at the Refuge. Beautiful little things. They hitched rides and then flew away. My dislike for deer flies has made me less open-minded toward the flying things, but the may flies? Little beautiful wonders.
I don’t mind the flying things too much … unless they bite or whine or enter air space that isn’t theirs (nose/ears/eyes/mouth!). Some little winged wonders are very beautiful!
š Maybe that’s why Skywalker hasn’t had a band of his own – he’s a “pretty peaceful guy” and doesn’t want to start a fight just for some girls! š And nothing like some moisture to bring out clouds of buggies!
Ha – just as I was bragging on his peacefulness, he was kicking up dust tonight! š
Oh my! I love this picture of my favorite horse!
So perfect coloring!
š I knew you’d love to see the big guy. š
