Thank you for hosting another Free Weekend Lesley!

We had a tragedy at Assateague this month. A 3 year old mare named Moonshadow was involved in a hit and run accident on the island one evening. The accident was witnessed but the driver took off with no time to get any information. As you can imagine, the island is DARK (it's a DARK NIGHT location, for astrophotography). Moonshadow and her 3mo old foal were both struck but survived and were being watched by NPS Rangers. Moonshadow had an obvious hematoma on her belly and the foal was left lame on her left hoof. They both seemed fine for several days, grazing and nursing and the filly's leg was improving. Unfortunately Moonshadow was found deceased with her poor filly crying out for her.........heartbreaking.

NPS decided to move her filly to Chincoteague where the horses receive vet care (MD side of Assateague does not, they are considered wild and left alone).

This is Moonshadow and her filly, which folks have unofficially named Moonbeam.

This fellow had a project over many years by building one or two houses. Now these houses are still in St-Vallier-de-Bellechasse and also some have the names of the original owners. On June 15th every year he sets them up in front of his house


Lovely series RR! Such colorful pieces!

D the D. What a dynamic shot. Figuratively and literally. Very nicely done.

I was recently trying to capture an interesting picture of toadstools in the yard. I wasn't successful, but when looking at the pictures later I wondered if this shot might represent the view from a bug's eye (or some other small creature). A somewhat different view of the world at any rate.

Nothing like fresh houbies (Edible, of course)

Nice group, Leslie. Especially like how you captured just how such a sweet pucker can beckon in a beautiful blue butterfly.

I was out front checking the trim on the Texas Sage in front the other day and found a lot of honey bees working hard gathering the pollen.
