Description

This is an original photograph that has been digitally altered in order to give you a lovely work of art to display in your home or place of business.

While driving through the area of "not a lot" on the way to Big Bend National Park, we passed through this tiny town of "not a lot"...a small church, a gas station, a few small houses in need of repair, a couple of barns which were missing parts of their structures, and this lonely horse standing behind a fence watching the few cars that passed. She seemed to be saying, "Stop a minute, visit a while, I won't bite." I had to stop and take her picture. While standing and taking her photo, a young boy about 10 years old came over to see what I was doing. I asked him if this was his horse and he told me it wasn't. I asked if he knew the horse's name and he said, "Lucy. I call her Lonely Lucy 'cause she don't have any friends. I talk to her a lot and sometimes give her a carrot, 'cause I don't have any friends either." Well, talk about touching one's heart, that did! I asked him his name and he said, "Juan." We had about half a dozen apples in our camp gear and I got them and gave them to Juan to share with Lonely Lucy. That was several years ago. I still think about Juan and his friend Lucy.
