Beneath the swaying leaves
A glimpse of gentle dark eyes
White magic morning

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

What a beautiful pony, Gemma. And, your words compliment the picture in so few words. Have a great day.
What a cute little guy, playing peek-a-boo with the camera. Thanks for the smile.
Cute shot. I like that it looks as if it's peeking under the leaves at you. :-)
What a magical shot! I imagine the horn of a unicorn is just hidden behind the leaves.
My Nature Notes post is up as well.
How sweet to just happen across this little creature is does appear a bit mystical.
Carletta stole my comment! I was just gazing at that photo and thinking "unicorn"! What a lovely surprise.:-)
