"Making life beautiful with sculpture."

 This life sized rust patina steel
horse sculpture
was created by
a local Bandera, Tx. artist
named Esther Benedict.
 I thought it was beautiful
so I took a photo of it
while I was in Bandera
last week.

Esther's creed,
 “Making life beautiful with sculpture,”
 makes for a beautiful life.

 The sculpture is standing
among the wildflowers
at the Flying L Ranch and
is just one of
her many sculptures
seen nationally.

Below is a close up photo of the same sculpture.

Below is a poem I came across
 awhile back and
thought it very fitting for this post.
Hope you enjoy it....

Poem by Lacie Marie Wiese


If you follow the river around the bend

Where the rainbow ends and life begins

You'll find a mighty stallion

The sire of a heavenly band



He's red like the fire

That burns within

And white like the pure soul

Confined in him



He belongs to no one

Nor ever will

But you can hear the thunder of his hooves

Then all is still



Does this wonderous horse

Live only in dreams?

Or maybe in the bright sun

As it beams



Or maybe just maybe

He lives in our hearts

Forever and ever

Never to part



Unless we can release him

And set him free

Then this stallion of dreams

Will always be


Savor the Day!
