Foto Story Friday #46 Post Card Perfect

May 30, 2002
We had a beautiful little foal bright and early. We had our horses (Arabians) pastured outside of town at friends. As they were headed off to school, they noticed the birth was happening. They took a few photos and called shortly after to let us know. I was SO excited, the kids and I raced right up and took pictures. At the time, I only had a 35mm film camera (I took several photos on film, they are not scanned). I borrowed their digital camera and took these:

Peek-a-boo!

This is my favorite shot of the day. I know the foal looks rail skinny, but you've got to remember she is only a few hours old. She fattened right up.

We've since sold them and I do not have a recent photo of her.

Trucker"s Life

My Dad's self published book of poetry. The book jacket reads: 'Trucker's Life, by poet Daren Flynn, is a breath of fresh air and authentic Americana. In a straightforward style, the poet sings the "Eighteen Wheel Truck Driving Blues" and the "Been Gone Too Long Trucker's Blues." He notes with irony that in a life characterized by mobility, the trucker misses the first step his baby takes. Out on the supply lines that link the country together, the trucker can hardly connect the pieces of his home life because he is "Never Home." In the poem titled "Trucking Is Tough," The poet tells with folk song resonance the hard-luck story of a hard-working friend. Flynn's poems tell how the lure of the road can be counterbalanced by the attractions of home.' Below will be selections from the book. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, leave me a comment with your e-mail and I will get in touch. Or contact my dad directly at truckerslife@hotmail.com Enjoy!
