I really didn't have a goal this week. I was short on both ideas and time. So Buzz and I just hung out in the yard for awhile to see what might happen. When he heard a car coming down the road, he perked his ears up nicely and looked like a serious guard dog. Despite his intense look, he is really quite gentle and afraid of anything unusual.
Meet Buzz, Buzz spend his first eight years on the race track and now has found a home as the first horse in my daughters start-up adaptive riding program. Buzz found his way to my daughter through ReRun a program dedicated to finding homes for Thoroughbreds off the track that also offers volunteer opportunities to at-risk youth. My daughter is very excited about Buzz and starting her own program here at home after spending many years on the West Coast working in adaptive riding programs and developing a program in Turkey for the Turkish Riding Federation.
As always thank you in advance for comments and favs they are greatly appreciated.
Today my daughter had a party, so us boys were left home alone.
We managed to tackle a racing car LEGO Technics model and built a kit that has a buzz wire and probe for you to try and make it to the end without it buzzing....
Although my daughter thought this was boring on her return and has quite annoyingly been trying to play a tune on it all afternoon...

Our Daily Challenge -- Dreaming.
The new Canon EOS-M was announced today. It's Canon's first mirrorless system camera, and it looks like it is basically a Rebel in a smaller body. A lot of Canon enthusiasts seem to be sorely disappointed. It isn't competition for the higher end mirrorless cameras from Fuji and Sony. It is closer to Nikon's cute little 1, except that it doesn't come in pink. One review I read said it is targeted at "latte moms" rather than prosumers.
Nevertheless, I think Buzz secretly wants it. I think he even dreams of having a camera small enough to fit in my purse with him that comes with an adapter that makes it fully compatible with existing Canon EF lenses.
Of course, Buzz's camera wish list is pretty long and definitely steeper than his budget. A new purse camera might have to wait. We still need to be able to pay for lattes, after all.

Buzzing It Down, 2012
Gary Webb (b. 1973, Hampshire, United Kingdom)
Cast aluminum, paint
Incorporating pop art references, synthetic materials, and an exuberant use of color, Gary Webb’s enigmatic sculptures often explore the formal interplay between abstraction and figuration. Buzzing it Down is a large-scale cast aluminum sculpture painted in brilliant and reflective chrome hues. Like round, stacked Lego blocks, each form playfully whips liquid color around the minimalist totem.
