New "Baby"

[liza]

This is one of the newest additions to the herd of horses on a farm in my neighborhood. I think she's only a day or two old, judging from how wobbly she still is!

I like the shot: Nice textures and composition.
I bet it'll make a good black and white too.
Is it cropped?

Beautiful animal and very nice shot. I would've liked to see more of the youngster though.

Very nice shot. I love the implied intimacy with the mother.

Thanks for your comments! In answer to your question, it was cropped a bit, but not much.

Here's another picture of the little one that shows more of him!

Oh, I love that last one!

They're amazing creatures when they're that young.

Great shots. Babies are so cute when they are "trying out their legs." Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! This one was particularly cute, I thought.

Very COOL shots Liza. :D It seems to be that time of year. ;)

It sure is! And this herd of horses has a high rate of reproduction. With the exception of wintertime, there always seems to be a bumper crop of new foals. There were two the day I took these photos.

Thanks!

OH bless her heart, she has some Appy in her... Nice photos!

[liza]

Thanks, Jessica! Yes, I believe her father is an App. They have loads of them on this horse farm.
