Re: PESO - Sunflower II

Thanks PJ. The irony is that this sunflower is only about 1.5 inches in diameter - just a weedy sprig struggling in the compost under the bird feeder. So in that sense - it falls a bit short of being the big glorious sunflowers that everyone loves. Whenever I try growing the big ones some

Re: PESO - Pegasus

See Dan's post. The one package he didn't open, out of all the packages, had wings on it (also gave him the idea for the sail). And at the end of the movie he delivers that package and there are wings at the ranch. And there is a hint that she will be someone he sees again. Marnie aka Doe :-)

Now that I think about it more, it probably is for jumping through. Smallish horse or pony. Then you have to get the picture on the fly. I know diddly about horses, but the stepping idea probably wouldn't work. Marnie aka Doe On 7/11/2017 7:36 PM, Mark C wrote: Its a very nice steel

Re: PESO - Pegasus

I imagine they want a horse to step through. Not jump. Front legs in front of circle, back legs in back of the circle. Stand still, so it looks like it has wings. I don't know if a horse can do that, but presumably the people doing it know what they are doing (or not -- maybe it doesn't work).
