Out to Pasture

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 23 December 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Willow Creek Ranch, Wyoming

I will be returning to the mountains for a few days of white Christmas. Last week, Big Bear in Southern California received the most snowfall in over 20 years and a little more is expected this week. Hopefully I will be posting a few winter white images in the next few days. That is, assuming I can get our old laptop and the dreaded dial up to work.

EYES WIDE SHUT from A corner of Utopia, United Kingdom

This is quite simply, masterful!

A perfect photograph, so dramatic and acheingly beautiful. The quality is of a standard on par with worldwide poster advertisements, or the National Geographic. Without a doubt one of the finest photographs I have seen recently. Five stars

These western scenes you have captured are absolutely outstanding.
The angle of this with the sunlight through the dust showing the contours of the horse is beautiful.
Well done. Looking forward to any wintery scenes from the mountains.
