This photo is the result of not giving up when an opportunity seems lost. I was driving toward Intercourse, Pa which has a large Amish population in the surrounding area when I noticed these Amish kids walking this pony, but the trouble was they were way back off the road in their backyard. Scenes like this just make me yearn to capture them for the glimpse it offers into the Amish lifestyle. Directly beside the property was a local produce store so I proceeded to make a loop around to see if there was a spot to park with a view of the backyard? To my surprise there was one parking spot left which was in the shade and gave an unobstructed view of the interaction. I must say these Amish siblings were doting on this pony with such a caring and gentle way that it kind of surprised me! They walked him around the yard petting him and being very gentle with him. I feel like he is a new member of the family but that is just a guess.
