Spring is still trying to appear here but today is only 48 degrees. The Bradford Pears and Spring flowers are in bloom but it's still pretty dismal.<br /><br />Love the Tor formations. They are so incredible with the ice on them.<br /><br />Great photo of Trigger, would make for a lovely art piece. Love how the mare has settled in to a routine. She must feel safe with you. Doesn't look like the baby has moved back yet, but that can happen quickly before foaling.Gail H.

You have a keen eye for what is beautiful and intriguing--and, obviously, a sophisticated camera. Those things which some see as merely 'ordinary' are full of mystery and wonder when we take time to look.<br />I'm amazed to learn [wikipedia] that the highest point of Dartmoor is a bit more than 2000 ft above sea level. So much of the landscape resembles the high plains and desert of Wyoming which is nearly 3 times that height above sea level.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-56234391300467139312013-03-27T23:56:17.478+00:002013-03-27T23:56:17.478+00:00Fabulous!
