As you know, we have been volunteering at Hunkapi Farms since Covid-19 shut our travel plans down. Our interest was primarily being around the horses. We have loved horses for many years. There is something about these beautiful animals that just captivates Bev and I.

We got rid of most of our "stuff" and rented our home so we could explore the world unencumbered. Pet sitting has enhanced our journey geometrically.

Volunteering at Hunkapi Farms during Covid-19 has been a joy, and a life-saver.

Another Farm Fit Day at Hunkapi Farms

Arizona Snowy White Egrets in Spring
As serious as John is about photography, we both know that "shooting" birds has not been his strong suit. He says, "the little buggers just won't stay still"!

Cherry Blossoms in Bloom
While maintaining proper social distancing, we drove into DC to see the Cherry Blossoms for the first time. We had been told that it is normally so crowded that it is difficult to see anything.

Spring Colors of Arizona
Some people tell us they don't enjoy Arizona because they prefer "seasons" and Arizona does"n have seasons. Oh really?

The color… Continue reading Spring Colors of Arizona
