This was a photograph I took a few days ago. This horse has been here in this parking lot for a bunch of years now and was quite faded. I have photographed this horse before. But suddenly it has a brand new paint job and looks wonderful. In fact with all this rain and overcast clouds, seeing this bright colorful horse and flowers brightens my day. I call this "American Vernacular" because Stan and I are always looking for things that fit the profile. "Vernacular" is a term that refers to architecture that is concerned with the domestic and functional, and usually distinctive to the area in which it is located. So we apply the term to anything, not just architecture. Well where else in the world would you find a brightly colored fiberglass horse!

Saratoga, NY! I remember many years ago that the City showcased painted horses along the city streets. I remember walking around just taking photos of all the ones I liked 🐎 Betsey
I remember seeing this horse on your blog before. Happy to see they have freshened it up and it looks so pretty amongst all the flowers.
