And that's final

Here's Mr. L watching as I drove off.  After a couple of choice apples and some dedicated attention, he kept reaching out to tug at my coat to get me to stay.  He is such a sweet horse, very loving.  

Thanks all for the comments on my self portrait.  I forgot to say how I did it--turned the camera on myself, then the drapes, then fused the two in Photomatix, an HD program not meant for such, but it worked fine~
