Roy Rogers’ Beautiful Palomino, Trigger Ever since I can remember, I have loved horses. I grew up in the era of cowboy shows and westerns. My Saturdays were filled with Trigger and Roy Rogers, Silver and the Lone Ranger; Fury and Joey; and the multitude of horses on all the other TV shows of that period.

But they added a lot of love … More Thank You, Moma and Daddy

From the … More The Joy of Photographing and Studying Insects

This post is about my epiphany about the causes of the high anxiety I lived with for one reason or another during my childhood. While growing up I was a bit of a worry wart.
