Featured Image for June 2023 "Return From The Water Hole" The setting sun is creating this beautiful back light that allows us to capture highlights on the mane, back, tail, and even lights up some of the mist coming from the horse's nose in the foreground as it blows some of the dust out of its […]
Featured Image for May 2023 "Solitude" Another image from the Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary in San Luis Obispo. At 6 p.m. in April, the sun is creating this beautiful light that allows us to capture highlights on the mane and tail with a soft lighting all around and some deeper shadows in the landscape forming.

Featured Image for April 2023 "Dinner with a View" When you visit the Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary in San Luis Obispo, you start out winding through Oak woods and rolling hills.

Featured Image for March 2023 "Stray Strands Delight" My theme in life this week has been hair, so when I sat down today to select an image of the month, it had to be this one. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy, and my hair began to fall out two days ago. I had long hair […]

Featured Image for November, 2022 These are working ranch horses at the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch near Sand Point, Idaho. In the evening they move the horses down to the meadow for the night, where they graze and live as a herd. I love this capture because of the motion in the mane of the leopard […]
This is “Lucky,” a working ranch horse at the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch near Sand Point, Idaho. I love this capture because of the motion in the mane – how it’s wrapping around Lucky’s neck. It just makes me happy! Hope you like it, too! Featured image for October, 2022.
Featured Image for September 2022 "Hooves In Motion" This is an appaloosa running through a field. To create this motion effect, I slowed my shutter speed to 1/100 of a second and panned with the forward motion of the horse, which created the blur of the background. The blur of the horse is simply its […]
