As we were riding in the car through the beautiful Maryland countryside on Saturday afternoon, we rounded a corner where a horse was standing by a fence as though waiting for us. My cousin willingly stopped the car so that I could take this shot.

Phil went out for a brief (and cold!!) walk after we returned to our cousin's home (after getting the horse picture) in order to take a few pictures with my camera. (His is at home.) He captured this gorgeous forsythia bush in full bloom. He also took the two pictures that follow, and I think they're beautiful! (I love the last one of the barn "lean-to," fence, and flowering tree.) Thanks, PJ!
