Gayle Tales: A Horse of Many Colors

For the first 50 years of my life, my perfectionist self mistakenly believed it was all about knowing more, getting it right, planning, attempting to prevent bad things from happening, and keeping all of my chicks in a row. It took me this long to discover that the JOURNEY is all that matters. This quote from Gilda Radner sums it all up:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. "

A Horse of Many Colors

I took a LOT of pictures when I was in Alaska and I have been happily working on them since I got home, getting them just the way I want them. My niece, Emily, really wanted a picture of her kissing her horse, Tucker. I have the picture, which I love, but it seems to call out to me that it needs a different feel to it. So I have been experimenting with different color effects and I don't know which one I like the most...... What do you think?
