Rainy Day Shopping ...

The rain this past week prevented me

from getting out and about with the

camera.... well .. I wouldn't want to

ruin my camera, would I ??

But I can drive over to Fanning Springs

and take all the photos I want inside this

fabulous shop ( Point of View ).

Renata ( the owner ) even serves tea.

Hot Raspberry tea in the winter and

refreshing Peach iced tea in the summer.

She is a most gracious hostess and allows me to

shoot as much as I want.

It is a remarkable shop.

But the centerpiece has to be this

enormous rocking horse.

What began as a carousel horse soon

became this spectacular rocking horse.

Over 6 feet high and 11 feet long.

It can actually be ridden..

Two years to complete.

This sculpted horse is made of mahogany

and bent oak.

.. and for a mere $25,000 you can

take this baby home.
