Possibly other photographers would cull this image because of the dead – distracting? – sunflower stalk marring the lovely lines of Chipeta’s face. Maybe I’m just ornery, but I like it. Maybe it’s a reminder of summer, and given the awfulness of this winter (drydrydry), I’m in no hurry to get back to summer, but I still like it.
Is the rest of the image enough to draw your eye away from the bright, dead-center, dead-old sunflower stalk? Is Chipeta beautiful enough? Her coat fuzzy enough, the lift of her stepping leg strong enough, her nostril just-so-cocked enough, her pretty self aware enough … to focus your distraction on HER?
It’s enough for me. 🙂
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
I love the picture! And the land. And the horse!
We are surrounded by beauty, for sure. 🙂
All good. Love the fuzzy look. MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE, if we say it and think it, it will come!!
We are thinking MOISTURE like mad! 🙂
Love those pintos!
!!! 🙂
There’s a mustang in the picture, so… beautiful. Dead sunflower and all
I agree. 🙂
She’s so perfectly composed and confident in her step !
It’s rare that she’s coming toward me. Maybe she thought I was guarding a particularly juicy patch of snow. 🙂
There’s a dead sunflower in this picture? 😁 Just kidding…but I have to admit, Chipeta and her loviness caught my attention first.
Ha! Perfect response! 🙂
Beautiful Chipeta! We are suppose to get some rain this week. I pray you will too🙏
