I have noticed lately some of the horses boarded near me are laying down some of the time. I caught this one laying down today on this cold April day. When we get an occasional warm day this spring the horses are running around. I can sympathize. When is Spring going to come?

This picture of a lizard was taken in Arches National Park in 2013. You don't have to go looking for these little six inch long reptiles. They are all over the place. I've seen them on rocks, logs, trees, and bridge railings. They like being in the sun, so they are out to warm up and be seen.
