This post is a little diversion from my usual. I am sharing, again, the view from my backyard. I often sit on my deck at watch the horses run. They are beautiful and calming and have such personality. I shoot them whenever the mood strikes or they are doing something funny or different. Last Friday I had to take a break from my Project:Garage Clean-up and go grab my camera and capture the unusual – the horse nap.  I admit I know little about horses except from what I observe in my back yard but in all that time I don’t think I ever saw a horse laying down on the job.

I try hard not to disturb them when I am on a horse shooting mission so I get my longest lens, which isn’t very long, and walk gently toward the fence that separates my yard from theirs. Luckily for me, I didn’t disturb their nap time so I could grab as many shots as my heart desires, which was a lot.

Here are a few ‘fun with horses’ shots to share:

They are beautiful, no?
