So many things have happened lately, you’ll need to be patient with me but the photos are coming! Firstly here’s what happened last week. We, my photography and adventure friends, Suzie, David and Connie, decided to go and photograph at my friend Sandra’s farm (she has a horse related business) and produce some portraits of the lovely animals.

It was quite the day …let me tell you I woke up at 6am, which is something I usually don’t do unless absolutely necessary, since that sort of thing usually renders me absolutely useless after a few hours. We, well I, however quickly got over the whole feeling tired part when we saw the fog that surrounded the farm! It was rather amazing.

Eventually, after countless detail shots all around the place, we finally headed inside to see what we actually came for, the horses! Adorable, of course, in ways in which only horses manage to pull it off being adorable, they were surprisingly varied in terms of personality. One for example, kept following me and seemed to prefer to graze somewhere in the close vicinity of my feet …while another was convinced that if she chewed on my camera strap for long enough it’ll taste good.

Suzie bravely is testing the viciousness level of this terrifying creature… putting her camera in danger and everything.

…and is happy to report that the creature is peaceful and benevolent.

The only scary part, being surrounded by three scarily tall curious horses sniffing me, aside, was when one of them got scared (by another horse) and kicked the one behind her …which kicked off (pun intended) a series of kicking and confusing among them, fact which quickly drove us all on the other side of the closest lockable gate.

Here’s Connie

And Connie again

And here’s David getting his arm almost ripped off …but; all in all it was great! We all got great shots and spent an unforgettable time together (eventually getting extremely silly and shooting portraits of each other in the field).
