Jodi....:0) That metal one is a beauty. I believe this one was an X-mas gift to a gal that rides "English". She was selling a dresage saddle, blanket, High English leather boots...I'll keep my eye out for another one for you and I'm NOT collecting, so I'd be more than happy to pick up a copy for you. When you mentioned Amazon I went looking to see what it actually DID cost and didn't find one this nice in this size, but I did find this one. $18,ooo dollars! Is THAT incredible?????? Limited edition, only 1000 made. ha ha ha You have quite the hobby!

OMG the color of that water, Jodi! You captured all the different hues! No, they are pulling them from the summer growth ponds and moving them for the winter. That fish will sell (if she is for sale) for several thousand dollars, probably 5 figures. The serious end of the hobby is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet!! LOL!!!

Jim, have you an identity for your bug? Looks a lot like the Kissing Bug whose bite can be deadly. They have recently been seen in more northern states than normally found. There are some bugs that look very similar to the Kissing Bug, but are harmless.

Glenda, attending those events must have been amazing! With my interest in fashion (said by unfashionable me!), I imagine the Inaugural Ball must have been especially wonderful.
