Friends on the hill

These are shots from our upper windows onto the back field. The horses have had a great week on the hill. My mum has decided that this mare in the coat is nearly ready to foal. I'll take her word for it as I haven't a clue about these sort of events. She took these pictures. I'm trying to get her used to digital cameras but she's not too impressed. Too small, she says, and you struggle to see what's on the screen when the sun is out.
Looks like our old chestnut friend is still in quest for apples, poking his head out of shot into a neighbour's garden.

  4. These are beautiful. I was reluctant to make the switch to digital cameras as well. But I wouldn't go back to film now for the world.

  5. I agree with your mum about how difficult it can be to see anything in the screen with a digital camera.
    She managed beautifully with these photos.

  8. I just love all these photos, Michael, but most especially the first. That's a beautiful coat on that mare and the shot is beautifully composed. Your mother is a very good photographer! And you are fortunate to have such gorgeous views from your windows!

  9. What fun you'll have once the mare foals, watching the little one romp in the pasture.

  13. Wonderful! Your mum took some great pictures, and I hope she is right and the mother horse fouls soon. Would love to see photos of the little one. What a great view you have out back, so lucky!
