Ah, she's looking good -- right up there with Bokke's ride which is a 2-year old saphire black. We were both at the same event yesterday and I believe if they had been passing out prizes, he would have won.

Today we had some of the first sunshine we've seen in 10+ days. So, of course I had to wash her up and take her to the beach.
