Lately I’ve been staying home — a lot. This past week though it hasn’t been by choice but because my car no longer starts. My entire recluse attitude changed the second I realized I would not be leaving my driveway for a while. Suddenly I felt the need to go out, even if it was just to curse at the gas prices as I pump.

My mom suggested I join one of her friends and go take pictures of her horse and I immediately took to the opportunity. Forty-something miles later we arrived on this little farm with some of the nicest people living in Lithia Springs, Florida.

I spent the day — still on my own but surrounded by all kinds of animals, fresh southern air, my camera, and even managed to slip in a few pages of the book I’m currently reading.

I can’t wait to go back with my pens and sketchpad.
