"Broadfoot mare on a foggy October morning"
"Fading into the Sunset"
"Scorpio" This horse has tiny freckles on its nose in a shape that reminds me of the constellation Scorpio.
"Eyes of the Sun"
"Autumn at Shawnee"
"Into the Sun" This is a member of the Shawnee herd at sunrise, as the sun broke through the fog.
"Do you believe in unicorns?" There are times when dumb luck creates something magnificent. This is one of those times. A drop of water on my lens hood created a magical prism effect, coming down into the picture with the horses. How magical!
"Breathless" The light cutting through the dense fog left us all a bit breathless as we photographed the wild horses on this October morning.
"Wish" It almost appears as though she is making a wish.
"Ombre" While it isn't really visible here, this horse has a rather long ombre mane.
"Can you hear me now?" These two colts were so much fun to watch! They were part of the adoption round-up in April 2019 and have since found good homes.
"Shawnee Mare in Winter" The horses winter well, moving from field to field.
"Pongo" This young stallion from the Shawnee herd was my favorite horse. He was adopted in the spring of 2019 and is now called Bojangles.
"Morning, Sunshine" This is the youngest foal with the Shawnee herd (Oct 2019) and she is a filly I call Emmi, short for Eminence.
"Tranquility" I feel nothing but inner peace when I am with the horses.
"Group Camp" The Round Springs herd having a snack before the sun sets in Eminence, MO.
"Love is in the air" The lead stallion and mare of the Round Springs herd touch noses (March 2019).
"Cast away" This young stallion was run off repeatedly by the lead stallion. It was clear that he would not be allowed to lead the Round Springs herd.
"Round Springs Herd" The Round Springs herd is often found around the campgrounds near Round Springs, but they can roam as far as Echo Bluff State Park.
"Into the Woods" The Round Springs herd headed into the woods where they spend most of their days.
"Echo of Wildness" This colt was from the band that hung out around Echo Bluffs State Park. He was part of the Spring 2019 adoptions and is still mischievous!
