SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE - YOUR BEST SHOT FOR 2010

I have way too many "best" shots, but I will pick this one.


















I like the composition and contrast.  This was Pony (Babe's Opal) at age 30...she had to be put down 12 days ago and she still looked this good (colic).

To view more best shots from 2010, click on my sidebar.

Happy New Year everyone!

    So, so sorry to hear about your Pony!

    She is indeed beautiful, and I trust she is forever happy.

    Happy new year to you!

    That is a lovely shot, and I'm glad you have such a picture, to remember your Pony by.

    My favorite shot, though is the one of L'Orange Marmalade that is on your sidebar. To me, it captures the essence, the mixture of mischief and love, that all marmalade cats seem to have. Of course, that couldn't possibly be because I have a marmalade cat of my own, now could it?

    Oh she's just beautiful! Sorry you lost her. Reminded me of a gray Arab mare I lost in 2010 at age 28. :)

    You were lucky to keep her that long. She was beautiful. I am sorry you lost her. I also lost a white pony some time ago - she was very special to me, and I miss her every day.
    Happy new year to you :)

    Lovely photo! She has beautiful eyes. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories, but I know our hearts are heavy when a special horse is gone. hugs.
