For man, as for flower and beast and bird,the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive.
-- D. H. Lawrence, Apocalypse
The photo was taken late this afternoon, on my way back from upstate NY. The horses caught my eye as I drove past; I immediately had to find a place to turn around so I could come back, tiptoe through a snowbank, and simply watch them. They were so beautifully still, so dreamlike, so part of the wintry world.

This is such a gorgeous shot. Horses make a landscape more beautiful......I wrote about horses as well today, so I'll add a link to yours.
Hey, Annie! Thanks. The serenity of the whole landscape was soothing, magical. I will go to your post right now. Happy New Year!
All that's missing are the carrots they were hoping you'd give them in return for what they gave you. Gorgeous and dreamlike.
Thank you, Deborah! Yes, carrots or apples would have been a plus to have along. I wonder how these ponies are faring in all the ice?
Such handsome ones!
They were for sure, Catherine! I hope you are well.
