One Sweet Shot - May 2009

 

When I saw this shot in Jen Gray’s Flickr stream I was totally taken by it. Part hilarious, part totally brilliant, part whimsical, part telling, part curious, part tender, part perfectly beautiful in the most unexpected way. Such is the wise and wonderful Jen Gray who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the last year and who I love, admire and treasure very much.

 

Thanks for sharing this shot with us today Jen. It may be a horse’s butt, but seen through the lens of a cowgirl, it's remarkable!
