Today we drove through the Panoche Valley and environs, a beautiful stretch of grasslands, range, and hills between the central San Joaquin Valley and the northern Salinas Valley. Took lots of pictures, including this one of a horse we spotted. She (I think it was a mare) was friendly and curious and maybe a little disappointed I didn’t have some choice provender secreted about my person. Beautiful horse. Beautiful place.
