Natural Beauty



This is one of my favorite pictures. I took this at our farm of a mare and her filly one afternoon. The filly was just learning how to really "use her legs" as they say. Horses are very clumsy when they're first born because unlike us, they try to stand-up right after they're born. The sun was just beginning to set, as you can see in the background, and it made for a perfect picture. It is such a serene, peaceful moment and even in black-and-white you can see it. It's really nice sometimes to step back from all of the hussle and bussle that we surround ourselves with and appreciate the natural beauty that is all around us. I have been fortunate enough to grow up around horses and they're such mysterious but gentle creatures. I love that this picture captures such a simple moment!
