Amish Farmers
Here's a postcard featuring an Amish farmer, his horses, and his dog, hard at work somewhere in the U.S. Most likely Ohio, Pennsylvania or Indiana, since populations are highest there.
And here is a photo I took recently of an Amish farmer and his horses working hard in Beaver, Ohio.
It's fascinating to catch snippets of these people living their daily lives....such a vast difference from non-Amish modern day life in the U.S.

Horses in Wyoming
Not only did I see llamas in Wyoming on a recent trip, I saw horses, lots of horses. I, actually, was at this spot to view a historic site, but then these particular horses moseyed over to me while I was taking pictures.
At this point, I'm thinking "oh crap" they're not coming closer to have their pictures taken, they want food, or at least a snack.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had some apples!
Well, maybe I was wrong about this one wanting food, I named her "Blondie", she seemed to be striking a pose.
But then, after Blondie finished posing, she gave me this look, as if to say "we know you have apples, cough 'em up, buddy".
So, after they finished eating my apples. They just stared at me. Not sure if they were saying "Thanks, those apples were yummy!" or "What's next?" or both?!
I did manage to take pictures of the historic landmark, too. There it is in the background. It's called Devil's Gate. I'll get to that, eventually, in another post.
I guess that barbed wire didn't bother Blondie's throat at all.
I named this one "Bashful". She had no desire to let me pet her, even after she ate one of my apples.
Blondie, on the other hand, was loving all the head and neck rubs.
Sadly, I had to leave and continue on my journey. But, I thoroughly enjoyed spending a few minutes, up close and personal, with the horses in Wyoming. : )

Outgoing Texas Horses Postcard
US-1511926
Another "back in January" card, this one made its way to Mario in Poland. I chose it because it combined two of his loves, horses and mountains.
He also likes dogs, photography and the color green. It's fun to add a little extra customization with the right stamps. : )
