Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

I am a show off

And who wouldn't be with this to show off with !
not even my work, but when this girl is famous I can say I knew her when ...
If you remember a couple weeks ago, my young friend Mel was out  for a visit. She is a very talented artist (as evidenced  above )
We were talking about her needing some more pics to display her gallery of work, . She always  has permission and will not use copy written material without the owner's OK so she has had a little  trouble building her gallery , I suggested a couple of my favorite photos to work from.It is a win win, because she gets to showcase her amazing talent , and i get the opportunity to own some  stunning artwork of  none other than my very favorite critters!  
You can see her other work here on the blog or on her website   
Can you imagine with all the pictures I take how many Mel Shwanke originals I could have? Better pick and choose soon she is going to be way to busy and famous to work for me! 
but , a girl can dream right?
Stay safe everyone!
