Description
I saw these beautiful beings on my way home one evening a couple of weeks ago during a rainstorm. Their shed gave partial shelter, but the rain was heavy and blowing into their stall with the strong winds. The way they huddled together was so sweet and protective....like two old friends giving comfort and warmth to one another during difficult times.I had to pull over and watch them for a long time, finding great joy in witnessing a simplicity of love and affection that moved me greatly. I thought how simple it could be if we human beings could practice always such a graceful nurturing towards each other.
"I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life's mystery and unpredictability, of life's generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation."

Hi Kym, thank you so much for your kind comments on my work....they always warm my heart. I have not been active on FAA or anywhere else much with my photography for the last year and a half due to the illness and death of my mother who I was caring for. Looking forward to having more time in the near future hopefully!

What gorgeous lighting on these horses Rory! They do seem to be old friends standing and huddled in the rain. Very heartwarming and beautiful. Your emotions always show thru in your images Rory. Thank you for your recent visit to my gallery. I so appreciated your wonderful comments and compliments.. I've missed reading and seeing your work... Happy almost Autumn to you. I hope you escaped the fires and heat this summer... LF4
