Horsing Around

Last weekend I was driving around, looking for a fun animal shot.

I found Black Beauty first:




Bu, as you can see, this photo isn't very good.
The fence is in the way, and it just isn't remarkable.


So, I kept driving around, looking for more animals.


Then I found a pair of horses hanging out by a barn.



The brown of the horse really compliments the barn,
but once again, those darn fences were in the way.

I didn't feel up for trespassing to try to get a better shot.

So, I kept driving, looking for a great critter capture...

And lo and behold, I found one.

I pulled over to the side of the road,
alongside a farm fence,
and whipped out my camera as fast as possible.

I caught a horse, rolling around in the dirt.

I wish I'd moved faster, because this horse was HILARIOUS,
but I managed to get only the one photo.

Before the horse got up and walked away with his friends.

That one photo is PRICELESS though.
Just hilarious.

Everyone's mom wants to have an Alpaca farm, right?

Every morning, on my drive to work, I pass fields.
Fields growing crops...and fields with animals.

There's this one field that contains a white horse.
I thought that's all that lived there...
but one day when I finally stopped to take photos,
I found some other critters lived there.

Two Alpaca.

Did I ever tell you my mom wants to have an alpaca farm?

I think it's an awesome idea.

I grew up on a ranch, so I love having animals and land.

And a black calf.

But this is the beauty that caught my eye.

My boys named her "Thistle" because the field has tons of wild thistle growing.

She's sweet & friendly.

Yes, yes, Ms. Alpaca, I'm sure you are too...
but you basically ignored me to munch on grass.

Donny's in love with Thistle too.

She wanted to come home with us...

I'm not sure what Annie would think of that.

Camera Critters is SO much fun! join us!
