Hello, It's Me
Friendly Foals
This is from a farm near Dawson Creek, British Columbia on a day when all of the horses were near the outside fence. The foals were quite shy and sticking close to the mares but I waited long enough for a couple of the foals to be separated from the others. The darker colt was a bit bolder and it almost seemed that he was being protective of his young filly friend.
This photo is dedicated to my friend Jenny, who most of you probably know because she is a fabulous photographer and one of the best flickr members. Nobody takes better horse photos and her grizzly shots are also world class. Well, when I think of Jenny, I think grizzlies and horses, in that order but come to think of it, her landscapes and hummingbirds are pretty darn good too!
So, this one is for you Jenny.... and if anyone needs to be steered to her fabulous photostream to see her horses, bears and more, find her here:

(by the way, hand held shutter speed 1/80, zoomed to the equivalent of 225 mm, not bad for a shaky old guy)
