Summer Solstice

It has been a cool and wet spring here and I have not spent much time photographing the lovely creatures in my own back yard, but since yesterday was the Solstice it was once again time for the EPNet Photo Project, I spent some time following my guys around. It wasn't the best day for photographing in between black clouds and showers but I did manage to get a few nice shots and it's always a pleasure spending time with this part of the family. Bellita has fit right in to the herd but I think my mare Juno was feeling a little neglected. At one point I was sitting on a log and she came and stood over me and managed to get her nose in front of my lens each time I tried to take a photo. You can see an album of photos that I took yesterday here, if you have a minute let me know if you have a favorite!

Hughesville, Pennsylvania Arabian Horse Show

Earlier this month I photographed the North Central Pennsylvania Arabian Horse Show in Hughesville, Pennsylvania. Other than a downpour on the first day we were blessed with beautiful spring weather. This is an event I have been shooting since the 1980's and it is always a pleasure to attend and photograph. Go to this link to view more favorites from this show. Enjoy!

Bellita, my new beauty

Yesterday we picked up Bellita and brought her home. She is a beauty, and so sweet and wise. These Lipizzans really grow on you with their wonderful dispositions and regal, classic bearing. Now my herd is perfectly symmetrical with 4 bays and four grays! She is a half sister to my other Lipizzan mare, Bella.

Here are a few photos I got upon her arrival, I am looking forward to taking many more!
