A commenter wanted to know the name of an instrument that appears in this part of "Carnival of the Animals." The instrument is a xylophone.

The word fossils reminded me of this:

And made me smile
*
And go out on my porch to see the sunshine
*
And think about what I will draw next

Remembering that I dreamed a few days ago that I saw my younger self from behind on a sunny winter day with a deep blue cloudless sky. My younger self was alone and joyful, riding a chestnut horse at a slow canter on a lightly worn path through tall grass and California oak trees. It was a loop path that created an engaging asymmetrical pattern when seen from above.

I wish there were still dinosaurs here on earth. I would love to see one playing in the snow like that.
How wonderful to dream of your younger self, joyful and riding a chestnut horse. Truly lovely.
Beautiful you! I've struck up an online friendship with Antonia Malchik, mainly from reading her sublime Substack. You should check it out if you don't already!
More interesting videos and music.
Nice to see your smile.
Love seeing your beautiful face, and hearing about that lovely dream.
