My beautiful Summer Violet!

A few weekends ago, my friend, Joe Jacoby, came out to Breezy Acres to meet Violet and take some photos. He is a criminologist, but a talented amateur photographer as well. He specializes in nature photography and has taken some extraordinary wildlife photos, but had never taken photos of horses before. My Violet could not have been more red and gorgeaus that day! She looked like what she was -- a daughter of Princequillo, Nasrullah, and Pensive. She showed off her beautiful red chestnut nature! And can you believe the photo -- this is among the first photos that Joe has ever taken of a thoroughbred -- and he captured her "Violetness" to steal from Owen Wilson in You, Me and Dupree. Thank you for such a lovely morning that day, Joe!!! Violet and I are grateful for the photos!
