The Contrast

The contrast from this morning – blue sky, sunshine, and happy faces.

Well, more like gormless faces, but smiley ones nonetheless.

Shovel that food in, Kolka! You go girl.

And then this afternoon, after I had spent some time in my shed making a sheep and taking photos of Pepper in her new collar (now this one I like very much) – rolled green leather – we went back outside and did it all again.

This time there was snow.

Here is a little action video of actual movement from the horses at the thought of a haynet!

The old folk did eventually climb the hill to their food.  Mr and Mrs Happy-Couple of course shared theirs.

While, on the other gate, Haakon and Iacs (aka Statler and Waldorf) had theirs.

There is a small part of me (no, actually a huge part of me) that thinks Klaengur is a hen-pecked husband!  He has that look but he is so happy.

And the snow continues…… while Monster remains hopeful.

    Nice to sunshine and no snow. Pepper’s collar is very pretty. As for the “Happy Couple” – they seem so content, rather like Monster.

    How beautiful to see the cantering along in the snow. Is Klaengur an Icelandic pony? Sometimes I think he has a tolt going on in the videos.

    I guess Monster thinks he is a weasel, and he will change color with the seasons. He is now white, as he feels more snow is coming, but very soon, he will turn a brilliant green, so that he will blend in with the grass. You might have to help him along on that score. Maybe a collar like Pepper’s would help stimulate the color change. Luckily for my Skiptamalou, she has black stripes, which help her blend in with the wood- stove.

    I love that video with the snow falling and all the horses looking at you, expecting something wonderful!
