For a couple of hours yesterday morning, a group of family and friends rode horses or off-road vehicles in honor of Garry Purnell, who died in December, 2014. It was the second year for this summer event; this time it was not as hot as it can be. Also the rain was short in duration. As a photographer, I appreciated the cloudy light -- and not being super hot.
I wasn't able go along with the ride for the whole two hours of it, but today I am sharing some of the photos I did manage to make.
First, the preparations at the house and the arrival of wagon and horses:

| Jean's garden, beside the barn |
 |
| wagon and horses now ready to go |
 |
| other horses, perhaps feeling left out -- in the field |
 | |
| Garry's grandson |
 |
| Garry's wife and my friend, Jean |
 |
| along route 504 |
 |
| heading toward home |
 |
| Perhaps the best response to my photography all day! Loved it! |

| Jonathan, the "ring leader", and his daughter, Natalie, remembering Garry, and his love for them and for the shared love of horses |
What a nice idea; it must be comforting for his family and loved ones. And I notice a lot of red color! Thanks xo
