Spectacular moment captured, Ruthy. How pretty this family is. The winged darling visitor and her sweet host teach us a natural lesson on conviviality.

This one reminds me of my Angel and Jack because both the mare and foal are black. Love the little bird on the back too. I saw one (bird) on Dunnit this morning and he didn’t seem to mind.
