Friday here was one of those picture perfect days. And frankly with this wind advisory and gusts that are making the house creak as I type, I’d love for it to be duplicated sooner rather than later. That’s my request, Dear Mother Nature. MKay, thanks.
It was so picture perfect in fact, that that is what I did- I took some pictures. The Macro Monday shots from yesterday were taken that day, as were the following. If these don’t make you crave spring, or make you want to come visit me here on the ranch, I’m pretty sure you’re in need of the asylum. These are photos of mostly our coming 2 yo colts- they’d be 2008 babies. There’s a few odd horses that found their way into this herd- and no, they’re not supposed to be grazing in the alfalfa field. But the cows rubbed the gate open and the horses, well they found their way into this pasture. Secretly I’m glad they did, because it made for some pretty pictures!
A thunderstorm rolled in that afternoon:
I am so blessed!

Those are beautiful. The second, with the lone horse, is my favorite. You are lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful scenery…even on windy days 🙂

Such a beautiful area to photograph! Love the horses photos. I am going to have to put SD on my list of states to visit!
April says
You ARE so blessed! It’s amazing what wide open spaces do for our hearts, minds, and our general well-being.

Just lovely pics and so peaceful. Makes me want to sit down and just listen to the horses quietly munch.

OH. MY. GOD.
Jenn, that is beyond beautiful. It’s proof that God exists!
You should really submit some of these to stock photo companies . . . and create a calendar . . . and greeting cards or something! Those are GREAT shots.
And #2 is my absolute favorite! It’s breathtaking!
It’s my desktop!

Absolutely gorgeous pics! I can’t get over how there is not one tree in sight for miles!! How does anyone get any shade out there? Go lean up against the barn! LOL!
Yes you are truly blessed, what a beautiful place.
