Ritzville Wa. October 17th 2010

Through a dirty windshield

Grandfather lets loose the ponies.....

I pass this scene every time I go to Ritzville. It is just across the Columbia River. Kylee and I have climbed up to see the horses and it is mystical and magical. Truly a beautiful view and when it is all quiet you can hear the horses softly nickering.

Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies is a sculpture of 15 wild horses that has crowned a prominent Central Washington hillside for more than a decade and is an inspiring sight for travelers along busy Washington Interstate 90 as they enter Grant County from the west.


The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Washington, captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes. Titled “Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies,” the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River’s Wanapum Lake.

The frost is on the.........

Morning in Ritzville---but nice warm and sunny days.
I had to come home and I say that,in a melancholy way, because I really enjoyed visiting my eldest daughter.

Going to Ritzville

Well I am heading out for a few days. I should be back by Monday.
Actually I am driving but this looked like fun.
Don't forget me..........MB

I don't know how the sepia pic snuck in here so just ignore it although it ruins my effect. RATS!!!

Morning at the pond.....

It was a beautiful morning and the morning sun looked perfect on the pond.
I took these pictures at 8AM.
I was out taking pictures of the mountain earlier and the dogs and I spent some time enjoying the water. Frogs are fun too.
