In a week when a purportedly authentic original work by Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci sells at a Christie’s auction for over $450,000,000 (had to use the zeros!), to a private collector with, clearly, too much money, I thought it timely to share a…
Grayson Highlands State Park, in southwestern Virginia, is home to over 100 wild ponies. I’ve heard about them for a few years and have wanted to visit; this fall, we finally were able to. What I wasn’t expecting was the stunning beauty of the park;…
