Enjoying God's Creation

Horses are one of those wonderful creations of God that people just love to look at.

Those of you who have been following my posts know that I love to go walking early in the morning. I have shown pictures from the trail I walk on in my little town. At the end of the trail there is a pasture where I had the opportunity to take this picture. Horses are such magnificent creatures! I can't help but stop and enjoy their beauty.

The first time I walked near the farm, I noticed three horses that were fenced in and were unable to come into the pasture that was closest to me. That didn't stop them from moving closer to take a look at me, but they stopped at the gate that kept them from coming any closer. When they see me they usually come as close as they can and look at me. I have gone back each time I take a walk to look at the horses in hopes that one day they would be in the pasture close to where I can legally stand without trespassing.

The last time I took my walk I did as usual and stopped to gaze at the beauty of these marvelous creatures and one of then was fenced in within the closest pasture. That is how I was able to get this wonderful shot. I was not there for long, but he saw me right away and made his way over to the fence. He was careful not to get too close to the fence, which told me it was probably and electric fence. I didn't want to coax him any closer in fear that he may inadvertently touch the fence so I stood quietly watching and waiting for an opportunity to take his picture. He knew about the fence tough. He came up to me and stopped just short of touching the it. Then he stood there along side the fence with one eye on my as he nibbled the fresh clover.

I simply enjoyed being with him. God is good...
