A Blessing

Sometimes the light is so beautiful you just have to go outside and bathe in it.  This is one of those sunsets.  Hopefully when one of these happens, you  remember  to take your camera outside with you.  (And more importantly, snap a few photos.)  Something to look at when the evening isn't so blessed.

Who is she? Northern end of the Black Rock Desert


     This photo is so wonderful as it is.  It'd be even better if we had names and location.  The negatives were given to me by an elderly neighbor before she passed away.   Knowing where she lived as a young girl and where her family worked, I suspect it was the northern end of the Black Rock desert.  A ranching family.   And that sleigh was used! It'd been hitched up and drawn to where mother and son pose so nicely.  I expect the horse was too restive to be included considering the time it took to get a photo was some of those old cameras.  A wonderful image.  If anybody recognizes them, please let me know!
