A recent drive through Plainfield had me using a long delay on the wipers as a high-country drizzle thickened the air.
But thick air means a saturation of colors, and I had my photographer’s eye out for something to shoot.
I passed a pasture with horses set against an angry black sky, and thought that would make a nice image. But when I pulled over and got out to shoot, the horses came over to greet me.
Oh well, no majestic white horse set against the dark sky, just a close-up of this lovely girl:
She was just diggin’ life out there in the tasty greens, and fairly ignored me as I lay in the wet grass to get this shot.
That’s from Gizmo, at perhaps twenty feet. I was expecting to take shots of distant horses, but they had other ideas.

How beautiful! You must be a very trustworthy person!
I think this horse is one I’ve shot at a local jumping event; if so, she’s a gentle beauty!
Thanks for commenting, Marjorie.
Amazing!
Thanks, RT. Your photos are quite stunning, so your appraisal of this photo is an honor!
You have no idea what your words mean to me.
Thank you!
You’re totally welcome.
