Description

The Magnificence of Horses

Imagine my surprise yesterday, when they moved some horses into Geronimo's old paddock, just behind the house! They didn't stay long and I don't know if they're coming back... if they do, the wildflowers will be short-lived because they'll chew them down. I hope they return because without them, the view is not the same!

Rain again today so the signal's going in and out. Nothing new this summer! I will comment when I can.

Fantastic photo opp, Nadya -- sure hope they decide to revisit! Nice catch! #7829666

Thanks Max, Shelly and Monnie! It was raining when I took this, by the way... I decided not to emphasize the rain and went for "misty," instead. The original was quite gray. I used some gradients (both white and black) then added just a touch of "Ambience" in Virtual Photographer. They were here again this morning! There are lots of horses on this property and many other paddocks, so I don't have a clue where they are usually kept. I just hope they'll keep on visiting! #7829683
