I saw Rocky, the Appaloosa Pony whose barn collapsed last winter, his winter coat all shed, out grazing in his pasture. He looks good. I get a lot of requests to keep photographing Rocky, and I wanted to say that I can’t generally honor those. I understand that many  people like to keep track of the animals in my life and on the farm, and that is sweet, but I have enough trouble keeping up with the ones who are here, and I can’t commit to updating all of those I photograph. Wish I could.

Rocky is not an animal in need of rescue. Many barns have collapsed around here, many are flooded and damaged, and I do not know what will become of all those barns, or the animals who lived in them, nor is it my business. Lots of houses are down also, and that is the appropriate focus here. I am happy to post this photo of Rocky, but it may be awhile before I can do it again.
