Travel: Kentucky Spring  
Every few years I travel to Kentucky to visit friends who live in horse-racing country. Better yet, they are old horse-racing people. It's a wonderful time to be there.  The yearlings are let out to pasture:
Whatcha looking at?


And wild violets stud the grass with purple and white:

Young men go wading on Boone Creek:

And kitties play mighty hunter:
Snake in the Grass

But primarily it's time for horseracing, which is both business and art, high society and high finance:
To the Starting Gate

Some of these little knockneed ones will sell for millions of dollars!
