Moments of bliss, they are. Words are not needed and stillness lays its head on our shoulder, lightening the weight of the world. The best way to walk on by Sunday, just looking at the bright side of life.

Some days are perfect and should be constantly repeated.

A beautiful moment of bliss & tranquility sorely needed on this day full of enormous trepidation. These wonderful ponies! Again, they are drawn to you as though they can sense a kind & caring friend. I think animals can do that.

Thank you for beginning my day on such an idyllic note. A far different remainder of the day awaits. I may need to revisit this several times today.

And the sweet hedgehog, what lovely lagniappe! Maybe the ponies told it about you!

I turned on YouTube to listen to some Sade and what pops up but your video 😁. It's much nicer watching them on a big TV and it's very relaxing ☺️. Do you think you can make an 8-hour video to help me sleep? πŸ˜‚

Thanks for that beautiful and peaceful video of the Shetland ponies. Truly it was a wonderful break from all the bad news we are having in the States today. They are such beautiful and calm creatures. That island is truly magical. Nice that you also got to see a hedgehog and share the photo. May your Sunday continue to be tranquil.

This is a lovely synchronicity, as I am currently watching a film made here in Australia called 'the silver brumby.'

Alex, thank you for these few minutes of blissful beauty, very much welcome after this turbulent week in the world. I unfortunately feel this coming week will be worse. Essential to focus on the simple moments of calm and blessings where we can.

Sunday morning here. 🌻

Love your feral Shetland pony immersion. Island splendor.

It's a way to experience our circadian rhythms. (And learn about them)

I wonder if Hedgehog buddy πŸ¦” in your yard has met your cat 🐈 (-:

The horses are so lovely! What a surprise when they came right up to you to be petted! Thanks for a brief respite to the stressful world news.

While driving through reservation land I saw four horses rarely in that wide open area. Usually they’re further north on the edge of the Salt river. After two weeks of rain the August desert is brilliant green generally brown this time of year. Beautiful sight to see horses free and wild!
