I see our neighbor’s horses all the time when driving by to our mountain house but something made me think I wanted to get out of the car in the rain and photograph them the other day. They were a ways away from me but one obliged me by come closer, and then closer, and then closer. He ended up pretty much snuggling me as he checked out my whole upper body with his nose. I had originally thought I hoped my medium range zoom lens would have enough reach to get some good shots, but as it ended up, a macro lens might have been a better choice.
I love this photo, Larry! Such a feeling of texture in the wet hair on his nose and the wet mane. And the tight crop makes me feel he is nuzzling my body like he did yours. I’m glad you stopped with your camera…and glad he came close to get acquainted! 🙂
Thanks Kathy, I was just glad he didn’t lick my lens. I don’t imagine my LensPen would do very good on removing horse saliva.
