I just returned from yet another wonderful visit down south .  It was pretty nippy this year. My first stop was in Virginia for a photo shoot of a client's dog. There was more snow on the ground than where we live in Maine!  We even had a couple of inches of snow in Charleston.  It was entertaining seeing so many people snapping photos of the snow with their cameras. 

I was fortunate to have the time to take in a few of the sights and went on a plantation tour and visited the aquarium.  What a disappointment the otters were sound asleep during my visit. I'll try again next year.

 

I was so fortunate to meet so many interesting and kind people at my reception.  The new Dog & Horse Fine Art Gallery on 106 Church Street in Charleston is so attractive.  Jaynie Milligan-Spector and her staff did a lovely job hanging the show.  It was fun to be a guest in more beautifully decorated historic southern homes and plantations.  The people are so friendly and the food is too good.  So back to the gym tomorrow.

I came home to warm temperatures, by the State of Maine standards, with very little snow on the ground.  I may have to start training my new four year old horse in order to make him tired.  He's thinking up more ways to get in trouble this winter.  Between him and the load of commission work I've accumulated, I ought to remain busy through the summer months.
