I hadn't visited for a while so I did a little catching up. Loved the joke and the photo of your husband is such a good one; he is a very handsome man. How is the weather now?

I've been doing a lot of stamping lately in the color palette of this photo: black, white, and shades of tan, so this photo really appeals to me. Both the full shot and the head shot are truly amazing. Kudos! Next thought - do you have earthquake insurance??? And we were in the Black Forest over the weekend - Saturday's snow was quite a surprise to us, but the fresh 4" on Easter morning was quite lovely! - Becky Hi Elaine - this picture of Rags is stupendous - equal to the horse head looking out the stable window in Ireland!

The first peaks are within a mile, I think we are on the Rampart Range fault line, separating the Rockies from the Plains. If you check out the image of the NE section here: http://geology.about.com/library/bl/maps/blcoloradomap.htm you will see that we appear to be on Mesozoic rocks, to the west of us are the basaltic rocks of the Rockies and, to the east, the Arkosic sandstone of the Black Forest and the Plains. You have to look at the explanation sheet as well to understand all the different colors and codes on the map. I am just having difficulty pinpointing our location on this map because they don't really show the roads and I have some difficulty pinpointing our location with geographic feature. But I am pretty sure we are on the Mesozoic rocks. If the Rockies don’t start in our backyard, then they start across the street.

Check out my horse film DVD post. Do you remember a Disney short subject called "Run Appaloosa Run"? That was one of my favorite films ever. Elaine, thanks for the answer.

Is there a name for Rags' color pattern? It's very unusual, at least to me. Great photo. Is there a name for Rags’ color pattern? It’s very unusual, at least to me.
