Thanks Elizabeth- can't resist snapping me horsies! They always give me the giggles. Dave Stacey said it might be the shampoo that causes them to go for my hair!

You're right Trish- it isn't dead sharp. Didn't have time to adjust it right or I would have lost him so close- would have come even closer! So it is "Soft focus"!

Great selective focusing in this shot my dear Mary, I wonder who was the more surprised? Maybe he was wishing he could've yelled BOO!:):)
Great colour in the season's new leaves and excellent detail in the branch overall. Great idea and well executed witha bold crop finish. All the best.....Ray

Dear Mary
How amusing with your horses! They are like little pets following you around:-) It must be a wonderful place you live having the opportunity to walk in the forest and experiencing the horse following you and maybe your hair:-)))
All the best,
Annemette

Thanks for writing Annemette- it probably isn't as wonderful as it sounds where I live! I just make the best of a few horses up the road! I'm too quick to grab dreams amd lose myself in them! Love your poetic idea of pets following me around!

I sense a bit of mysterious concealment here that whets my interest to know why the horse is hiding, from whom or what. The branch to me isn't functional but rather symbolic, maybe a veil between animal and man. Sometimes I think the animals here on the farm tolerate our stupidity, unkindness, and other human traits that we human deem bestial. A photograph that stimulates, Mary. Anson

Thanks for looking and writing Anson- much appreciated. Not being a photographer, it is things like you say that grab me to play with- (or indeed write poems about!). Really like the idea of the branch being symbolic as if a veil. Wonderful image.

This is an unusual composition, but very effective. She looks decorated by the leaves and somehow appears to be like a mystical horse from a fanciful story. I really like this.

Great image Mary ! I like that you and your pets are sooo close. Your horse is simply like a big dog... isn't he/she ? I love horses, all animals... I also like the tie between your images and the titles you give them... they tell a complete story in this way.
this is a wonderful story.
ThankYou for sharing .
