And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

European Ibex practice their balance on the face of a rock dam in Italy. No fear.
1st time I recv'd these pics - the sender had been told they were Big Horn Sheep in Wyo.
Tracked down your site thru the correction - just wish your background wasn't so dark - makes things hard to see on my old computer.
Don't know when circumstances will allow me to buy an updated laptop w/ high speed - dreams never die/just like my all time favorite: to own a wonderful trail mare again. I've outlived 2 & am wishing for a 3rd, B4 it's too late.
Do you all know about the World Equestrian Games starting today? The greatest gathering of world class horses in Lexington, Ky. The event is held every 4 yrs. This is the 1st time in the USA that I know of. NBC will broadcast the opening on Sunday 9:30a PST. You can download the TV schdule on www.alltechfeigames.com or www.discoverhorses.com Most of the events present the best world teams in jumping, dressage, reining, driving, vaulting, endurance & the really special "para-equestrian dressage" for physically challenged riders!!! We hv a representative from So Oregon who has been invited to perform: Carole Mercer & Her Dancing Morgans. She's a "cowgirl" who can ride one black mare sidesaddle while driving her other black mare "in line" ahead of her. She puts on quite a show - she'll inspire all horse lovers to put in more saddle time. www.carts-carriages.com I got to meet her once B4 she left for Ky - the security prep is remarkable - she & her asst, a vet, had to pass FBI screening. Hope you can catch some of the performances - talk about dreams - wish I could fly a magic carpet across the country - Haven't been on an airplane since 9/11 & I love Amtrak, but only hv time to take it up & down the I-5 corridor in Or/CA
Great Pics - Isn't Nature a marvel.
