Urban Livestock: Sheep
A neighbor on the next block over has added three sheep, two ewes and a ram, to his household. It was recently decided by the City of Seattle that it was OK for property owners within city limits to keep up to three miniature goats as pets, so I guess it wasn’t too much of [...]

Silly Hat
Joan is wearing a hat with a face on the back, and yarn braids. It’s cute and silly and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it since!

Another Horse
For a few years I was into horseback riding, English style. I took lessons at a stable near Monroe, WA. This horse was an Arab and one of my favorites. Is it coincidence that there was a similarity between her and Ludwig’s horse?

Surprise!
Howard Warner, Vienna, October 1971
Howard Warner looks very surprised by this harlequin mastiff dog that has wandered into the shot in The Prater, Vienna. The Prater is a large park there, comparable to NYC’s Central Park or Helsinki’s Tivoli.
