In Amish country, you won’t drive far without seeing huge, magnificent horses. Even though it was bitterly cold outside, I had to get out of the car and take this photo. It was so cold my fingers felt a little tingly after I got back in. This field actually had quite a few horses that aren’t pictured in this shot who were curious about what I was up to and came to check me out. When I was done, they all kicked up their heels and ran back to the big barn in the background.
The police force at Rothbury was actually a pleasant addition to the festival and added to the unique atmosphere. They were on horseback, friendly and great at interacting with the crowd. It was interesting because they definitely kept things in line but were not threatening at all.
I’ve got more shots of Rothbury coming up this week including pics of the Phil Lesh and Friends concert. Also here’s link to another Rothbury blogger who posted some videos of Rothbury.
Yesterday was awesomely everything that comes when you KNOW spring is in the air. You can see it, feel it and smell it. So, I went driving around in Michigan’s farmland and took a bunch of pictures right before sunset. I took this one on a horse farm and this gal just couldn’t figure out what I was up to. I think her name was Emily, she wanted look at my camera… close up. I’ve never been around horses much, but I really like them.
For those of you who love scenic farmland and barn shots, I’ve got a bunch coming up this week.
Those of us lucky enough to call metro Grand Rapids home have discovered this is a great place to raise children. The city is big enough to feature national acts like Hannah Montana (on December 6 at the Van Andel Arena), yet still offer some of the world’s finest beaches, lush farmland, and abundant state parks with woods and wildlife.
There’s just something about horse farms that amazes me. I love the fences and grass and magnificence of the horses. I see a lot of horse farms around here, this one always makes me stop and stare.
This farm with horses was right next to the sunflower field pictures I took. The horses were watching me the whole time I was taking pictures, like they thought I was crazy.
