Wild Horses of Nevada

On our way home today from basketball practice we came across

 these beautiful wild horses.

Coming down the canyon four of the five horses had crossed the road 

leaving this mare by herself.

She kept calling to her "family" and they were calling back.

They were on the other side of the canyon heading up the hill.

They turned around and started towards her and us.  

When they came up the hill they didn't realize that

we were there.

When they saw us they were not afraid or startled at all.

I was surprised that the other two mares and

the colt came down the mountain and up the other side

leaving the stallion alone.

He eventually followed his family.

I see the wild horses sometimes daily.

I was thrilled today to have my camera and the 

time to just hang out with these beautiful

animals!

The Nevada Day Parade!

Our very own ARCHIE!  The Reno Aces mascot.

What kind of parade would it be without clowns?

Everyone loves clowns, right?

A marching band.

It wouldn't be the Nevada Day Parade without the 

wild mustangs.  

A cause I believe in.

We need to save our wild mustangs!

They are NEVADA!

Love these dancing horses!  

They are just beautiful!

More clowns!

Nevada, known as the Silver State, was admitted to the Union on October 31, 1864, making it the 36th state.

In 2000 Nevada started celebrating Nevada Day on the last Friday of the month with the parade on Saturday.

This year the weather was perfect!

It was a beautiful fall day in Carson City  for the Nevada Day Parade!

The Holbrook Horses

Nicky, Mila, and Sonny.

Beautiful "children" of my co-worker Joanne.

Thanks for the beautiful morning at the ranch!

A cowboy and his horse share a joke!

Ferrari Farms

  

I was able to surprise my son on his field trip to Ferrari farms in Reno.

It was a beautiful fall day at the farm.

I loved the animals and had to capture just a few of them!
