As I started up the snowy hill, I passed this little pony heading for a bale of hay set out in the pasture. He was quite focused on his journey and paid little attention to me as I drove by.
Sunny you always have the greatest pictures. I love the flags in the cemetery. So unusual to see them in the snow.
And the cow a few post down is wonderful.
I just noticed the goat on the sidebar. I have been following a blog by Margaret called "Nanny goats in Panties" for eons. She has a section where she post goat photos sent in by here readers. If you are not familiar with the blog check it out. I'm sure she would love to post your photo or any others you might have if you would be interested in sending it to her. Her e-mail is on the blog. It is www.nannygoatsinpanties(dot)com.
Thanks for the visits my way and all the nice comments.
Sunny while I was growing up we always had ponies and quarter horses. I can tell by the heavy coat on this Shetland that it has been a brutal winter up there.

P.S. Your header picture is beautiful. Ice storms are so beautiful but they are so treacherous. We often get ice storms here and they are much worse than a heavy snow.
Was he just out loose? I wonder why he wasn't in a fenced in area, because it can't be very safe for him walking along side an icy snowy road. Poor lil guy, but he's a cuuutie!
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

He looks rather isolated in the middle of all that snow. I bet he's wondering 'How much longer'
precious little pony in the snow, I would love to follow you around for a month or two. You find the most amazing photos.

What a wonderful photo. Your poetry is lovely, too. ((hugs))
This picture fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.
He seems so little to be alone!
Wonderful capture Sunny, and going for his hay too.
Great shot, makes me cold but warm at the same time.
He is very interesting in your camera! Cute friend and your picture is beautiful!Great composition!
hugs

Excellent capture, Sunny. I see he has huge furry feet (hooves) These probably help in the snow...
He's like me, Sunny... FOOD takes precedence!!!! ha
Hugs,

Hey basic needs are basic needs. You were of no concern to him. What a neat story and photo. It does look cold.

You really couldn't compete with the lure of the hay bale! Nice photo and story.
I imagine the pony is imagining how great some green grass would taste. But with all that snow he'll have to be content with that bale of hay.
Ah, he looks cold!
That's a very cute pony and I bet it's a cold pony too. I wonder if staring cow has met the trick pony? :)
He's so adorable and quite intent on getting to that hay!
Such a lonesome bend in the road for him to traverse with no one by his side.
