There is nothing like the strength of the bond of love between a girl and her horse. As with many girls, dreaming of having a horse fills their heads day and night.
What is inspiring is that the girl’s passion allows her to control a 1,000 pound-plus beast and her love makes him bend at her will.

I’ve been super busy lately, and am due at least an update on a few things around the manor. A rare sighting of Esperanza was seen on her Osprey platform the other evening, screaming away for Zorro. She left later on, and hasn’t been seen. Zorro was seen tonight flying to his favorite evergreen tree with a fish for dinner.
Azure and Celeste has been seen building a new nest ! While I didn’t see a single feather of their four children that fledged, all I can do is hope that they moved on to better grounds. And not the other possibility that a fish crow got them.
Celeste could indeed lay a new clutch of eggs which would be a second blue bird family at the manor this summer. Stay tuned as we’re now on nest watch again.
A LITTLE HELP NOW !
It is with great pleasure to announce that one of my images has made it into a photography contest for a calendar. The Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research, Inc offers a yearly photo contest for their fundraising calendar.
PLEASE VOTE FOR MY IMAGE HERE–
I would be so grateful if you would. Mine is the one with all of the white swans in it “Let’s Talk About It”
Wish me luck ! I’m pretty excited as this is the first contest I’ve entered. Thank you so much!

DONE! And pleased to do so, wishing you all the very best, Emily. And yes. For us girls, of all ages, our dreams of having a horse someday most definitely fill our heads, day and night. ❤
Even with a horse, we still dream of horses. Call us Horse crazy. 🙂
Yesindeedy, forever and always! ❤
So…zorro and esperanza are having a lover’s fight and Azure And Celeste are doing good, Gotcha lol!
Can’t keep up with all the drama around here. This afternoon Esperanza was back on the nest for about 2 hours crying away from Zorro – who was a…no show! She gave up. Go figure!
wow what a lover dispute whew!
Got a first novel coming with a girl and her horse, albeit set in a quasi- scifi setting…but still this is an awesome photo!
This sounds exciting ! I bet it’ll be a great book. What’s the name? Thank you so much for your compliments.
I’ll keep the name a mystery for a little while longer…only until right before its ‘unveiling’! Keep up the great work!
This is awesome and keeps the suspense. Good luck!
Yes! Hopefully I produce something people can connect to even if it’s a few people. I’ll be sure to post more info as I get closer!
Very happy to. And good luck!
You are truly too kind Steven, and I thank you so much! So far..so good. 14 more days of voting to go.
Done! Good luck!
You are so awesome ! Can’t thank you enough. BTW, love your bird art ! Great stuff, I can barely draw stick figures.
Thanks! Got a new one posting tomorrow. No great shakes, but my first watercolor bird anyway, so we’ll see how it flies. 😊
I enjoy your work too!
I tried to figure out your name on your blog, but came up empty handed.
Believe me – your artwork is wonderfully creative. Loved the ‘pregnant bluebird.’
LOL glad you loved it! It’s Laura. I should probably change my name thingy. hehe. Thanks for the good words! :))
Awesome Laura, and a pleasure to meet you.
How exciting! I’ve just tried to vote, but a notice came up saying voting wasn’t allowed from my location. I wish you best of luck with the contest. You’re ahead so far! 🙂
Great news on Celeste and Azur too. And our swans’ eggs have hatched now and I saw their 3 little cygnets for the first time yesterday. Woo hoo!
Aww…bummer. But your vote of confidence is all I need. 🙂
Oh I sure hope you get to enjoy your cygnets for a while. Holiday soon right?
Great news!!! Congratulations and best wishes, my vote is locked in.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mary. Can’t thank you enough. 🙂 Wish me luck!
I voted! Good luck to you. I love the photo at the top of this page.
Thank you so much Carolyn. I love Hannah and her horse. Yes..just like the Direct TV commercials. Appreciate you voting for me.
Hello and best wishes in the competition.
I guess it is because I am in the good old United Kingdom but I
got the message
“cannot vote from your location”
The home of democracy eh ?
Aww..you are really too sweet ! I don’t know why I associate you with Australia, but now I am duly corrected. Fatima and you are in the UK. That is so very awesome.
This is a local area bird rescue place, so I don’t blame them. Think of all of those spammers from other – I won’t mention – countries. 🙂
Your support is vote enough.
