gah, I wrote four chapters today... it was all I had in me with all that ANGST.
I have to rest my brain till tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow morning at some time. I have a meeting in the (my) afternoon but I will see what I can do.

Just read the last six (!) pages with a big grin on my face. My cheeks hurt. This thread is a hoot! What a great counterpoint to all that angst going on in Ellery's life right now. Keep those pics coming!

Hey neatfreak...you can join in the fun. Somebody has to find Ellery's flip flops and in the latest chapter, he wears a black tee shirt....
Have at it and great to have you here!

I don't much care what you think Ellery looks like (well, that's a lie...) but Ennis needs a good looking horse and that would be the buckskin or the dun. The one underneath the buckskin is a boodmare, her foal is behind her. I think the last one is just plain ragged looking. His horses have always been important to Ennis, so give him the best you've got. Nellie looks really good, but I've never cared for horses with stockings so I'll not even comment on Socks.(Sorry to be so pushy. I followed MaineWriter's link to Louise over here from Dave Cullen - as if that's a reason.)
For what it's worth.

Hi Tamarak -- How amusing you and I seem to share our priorities in the human vs equine character casting!
You have great observations! My reponses regarding the pictures I posted are:
1) Nellie is a part of the high end breeding that Wes has established, and thus would necessarily be a lot flashier than Ennis' horses.
2) Socks and Pal are both mares, I figure at some point either may have been bred.
3) That said, the sorrel does sort of look a little unkempt, but when I look closely I don't see a neglected horse at all - rather a typical working horse. Working horses don't usually get groomed for looks, just for function. Never the less, that photo undeniably was posted in haste as I was trying to find a light sorrel example to post.
I too am partial to buckskins, but my favorite is the Strawberry Roan -- (with the baby)

Thanks for the invite, Leslie, but I am clue-free on how to post pics. I am content for now to enjoy all the wonderful stuff others bring to the table. I'll chime in to vote -- if I am here in time. You guys post too fast to keep up! ;D
