How could I have missed the Wiener Nationals! It’s the greatest show on earth!

Past the stands for the first time.

And #2 takes them wire-to-wire!

I love this corny mural at the entrance to the indoor paddock.

Longest home stretch in the United States.

Another goofy mural by someone who may have glimpsed a horse at one time and is painting from memory.

This guy looks…concerned.

None of these are mine. I tossed them in the trash like a responsible horse player.


We never had these guys around when I was growing up. Sure happy they’re here now!

…gotta round up some varmints.
…a beautiful and relaxing place.

I love the extensive of indoor water features. And this spiral walkway is the bomb.



And all of the indoor plantings are wonderful…look at this crazy-huge fiddle plant!


It’s very open and very airy and I love it. It’s a wonderful place to spend the afternoon.


It won’t be this empty for long…

Looking stylish, as always, Mr. Owl!

I cannot get enough of these cuties.

It’s called a Li’l Pum-kee-mon. No joke.

Anna’s hummingbird babies. Not a great photo, but I never got too close to them because I didn’t want them disturbed. They got fat. They fledged. Circle of Life!
