"Always Watching"
One moment on the range with the North Onaqui herd.
The thrill of being with a herd of wild horses is that there's never a dull moment. I could be looking at a band of horses not doing much - mostly grazing or resting, but then, I notice one horse looking off into the distance. I follow the direction of its gaze and see a horse off in the distance running in our direction. Just one horse. I continue to be so curious about all of the horses and love creating images to share with all of you!
This image was taken in the Utah desert, southwest of Salt Lake City, at 6:10 p.m. on April 16th, 2026.
I've included a color version below. Which one do you prefer?
