Found

This year in the beginning of June, we experienced a late snowfall. Of course, the snow had melted away by suppertime. But before the unexpected weather disappeared, I made sure to go outside and take a few pictures to capture the big flakes falling on our already green grass.

The weather inspired me to paint a more chilly landscape. With a warm chai latte in hand, and trusty old George at my feet, I went diving into my folder searching for reference photos. 

I came across a picture I had taken when I was on my way to work one morning. It was taken in the beginning of January. Before I could cross the railroad tracks into town, I came across three horses that had escaped. Animals getting out of their pens isn't exactly a rare event around my parts. Being that all the neighbours know each other (including their animals), it doesn't take long for the situation to be rectified. So not to worry, the horses were caught and were placed safely back in their pen. While stopped to make sure the horses passed my Jeep safely, I was able to take some quick pictures. 

Song Choice: Three White Horses - Andrew Bird 

(The image did make me think of Andrew Bird's song Three White Horses and, in turn, the fact that I have found someone special to live out the rest of my days with)

A woman

Who chooses to live life hallow

Pounding of the ground

Kicking up snow

Don't swallow

All those fairytales

Served fast on a plate

But you crept in humble

Sweet

With tender smiles and loving eyes

A daring surprise 

Love and me

Standing outside the cinema

On the twenty-eighth 

Thrilling

Even rebellious

Enclosed animals

Freed

I flung myself in the unknown

Following your lead

You have proven that it is simple

Generous

Unrefined

A comfortable design

Not for measure

Love
