Laughing horse had a baby!

I kid you not... I don't recall ever seeing a real live baby horse!  Don't know if its a boy or girl but you can imagine how excited I was to see him arrive along with our neighbor's horses!  All the baby horse ever did while I was trying to get its picture is suck and nap.  Imagine that!  Just like a baby!!!  Well, I am soooo glad I trudged through the mud and elements to capture these images of my "famous" laughing horse and its baby!  Enjoy!

 

 

Cute Donkey and Horse Closeups

Using a 20mm wide angle lens, I photographed Sally, our donkey, and Reese and Ace, our horses, last Saturday during sunset.  They thought they were getting a treat so they came real close to the camera and allowing me to capture their expressions of curiosity.  The 20mm lens makes for some cute, distorted images and I use it when I want to have some photo fun!  I have included my favorite images from the outdoor session and hope you get a good laugh at their cute expressions!

Snow and horses

It was so pretty out this morning as the snowflakes on the dry wildflowers glistened in the sun.  If you look closely at the first photo (to the right of the left wildflower), you can see three snowflakes that blew off of the wildflower.  While photographing in our yard, the horses came over hoping to get a treat.  It looks like they were enjoying the snow too as you can see by the photos I've included below.

We're free!

"We're free!"  That's how our two horses and four donkeys looked like when we let them out into the pasture after they had been confined to a few acres for a few months while my husband moved the fence closer to our entry road (see first photo below),  The photos below are my favorites that were taken while riding the tractor and following them around the pasture.  To see a slideshow of all of the photos, click here.  Enjoy!

Horseplay and wildflowers

I feel privileged to have our horses, and watching them play is so entertaining!  Here are a few shots of Ace and Dakota playing and some wildflowers that are in abundance on our property. These wildflowers are the perfect background for little girl(s) outdoor portraits.

Enjoy!!!
