Fine Art Friday – Fresh Snow, Wild Horses & Gratitude

Thanksgiving Monday 2021 gave me a lot to be grateful for.  We had plenty of food on our table.  Family to share it with and, despite additional lockdowns returning, still plenty of freedom to enjoy it.  I woke early and felt restless.  Nature called – in the best possible way!  It had been grey and […]
