More of that hill
It doesn't come up often, but I'm actually kind of afraid of
horses. It's not as irrational as most phobias; I've been bitten before
so I know they bite. And they kick and step on people and break Superman's
neck and stuff.
But the sound of the camera's zoom thingy seemed to make her nervous and I didn't want to scare her off and miss those incredible few minutes of sky, so I had to step really close to frame these like I wanted. I talked to her sweetly as I edged up against the wire fence. Once I was standing right there she didn't mind posing - so long as the camera was quiet we were good.
First chigger
bites, now I'm getting within biting/kicking/Superman-neck-breaking
range of thousand-pound animals. This photography stuff really has me
living on the edge, doesn't it?
