On Sunday we stole away from the farm for a day to visit freinds and clients from the East to the West of Scotland as far as Ayrshire, not a bright start to the day but it got better and better..........

First stop to check in on LibraUK.. to see Leo a yearling colt by the sadly deceased "Do Ron" and the latest arrival Demarco by Otis both out of the lovely premium mare "Mac"

As if that were not enough we felt that Duplicanno by Petulance now at the age of only seven weeks had grown enough to take some photos for his webpage...

By McJonnas out of Petulance by Samber x Orlando this is a mating that just seems to work, so she is once again in foal to McJonnas for 2009........ Duplicanno is the spitting image bar his colour, of his full brother born last year hence the name......... and yes just seven weeks old....... going to be a big lad...

Gosh they are all simply divine!! Your photography skills are getting betterer and betterer - LOL! No, seriously, I wished we were located closer, as I would love to have you do mine!
 
Wow what a busy little bee you have been. They are all stunning, its lovely to be able to see them all. I'd be hard picked to chose a favorite, oh it really would have to be Dignity all golden with black trimmings, just how I like them.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

No Tobago just enjoy playing around with the camera, did some photography at college many years ago as studied art but back then it was developing rooms and chemicals, digital photography has opened doors and make it more accessible for everyone to have a go. Fundementally though you have to have a good eye and my mentor, who is a professional photographer says that I have it,

shes very proud of me too and has taught me many of the tricks of the trade, if I can be half as good as she is one day I'll be pleased.

but I have a LONG way to go...........
 
And mega thanks to everyones lovely comments, it has been a very intersting few years seeing what mcJonnas is producing as said to a variety of mares.... some look like twins and certain characteristics are definitely being stamped.

well gotta scoot more work to be done.............
