Spring Brings Foals

Over the last couple of months, Doug and I  have been watching four very pregnant mares at the ranch we drive through nearly every day.  Then one day there was one foal.  About four days later, another.  Then two more.  

Today we saw one mare and her foal.  The foal started away while we watched.  Where is it going?

As we watch it get further and further from the mare, it begins to prance along.  Where is it going?

and then...ah my friends, there they are.

We watched for a while.  The foals were all leaping and nuzzling each other.  A very cute scene.

and then, it was meal time.
