Friendly horses

During my nature photo excursion the other day I first stopped by to visit my horse friends who were eager to see me. If you've noticed, I've been somewhat enamored with getting closeup horse eye images, and this time was not an exception.  The following images of my horse friends are shown below for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

The beauty of autumn and an awesome sunset!

It was one of those times I needed a break from several projects I was working on to treat myself to a nature photo session. I grabbed the camera, jumped in the truck and drove around our property capturing the beauty of autumn. I was so excited that I failed to check my camera battery and before the sun started to set, the battery died.  I knew there was going to be a beautiful sunset so I drove as fast as I could to get another battery.  I have included images of the sunset along with a winding road photo, images of smooth sumac and dried goldenrod. By the way, the sunset images have not been altered--the images are exactly how the sunset looked. Enjoy God's beautiful handiwork!

Crazy horse faces!

When you see a horse-laughing image like the one below, do you wonder how I was able to get the shot?  I know, you suspect the horses think that I am so funny looking that when I show up with a camera they start laughing! Well, not quite!  My intent during this session was to get a nice shot of horses lined up along a fence looking into the sunset!  Though that image was not obtained I was happy with the images I got of all of the funny horse faces.  See image captions below...

As soon as the horses saw me they come quickly.  The Palomino below is the head of the herd.

This quarter horse must be second in command as he stayed close to the Palomino shown above.

Ever see a horse scratch an itch?  These hedge posts that my husband built make a nice scratching post!

This is the last image I took during this session and the two leaders of the herd really do hate to see me go!

I made a storyboard of the crazy horse faces from the last two sessions with my horse buddies!  Enjoy!!! :)
