Not so small now....

It's youngest daughter's birthday today.
She's 22.
This was her when she was little - a usual pose for her - up close and personal with a Dales pony.
Thumb sucking and twirling hair in the summer evening light. This time the hair did not belong to her, but was Gypsy's.
No shoes as always.
The ponies never knocked her over or trod on her. They looked after her.
She is, after all, family.
I love this picture and the memories it holds.
This is a poor copy taken from a tiny image sent to my phone as the original is not big enough for blip, but you get the jist. :)
