Dream horse

18 04 2026

Don’t look too closely at the sharpness – which is to say the lack thereof – of this image of Temple. The sun was down, I was leaving the basin, the horses were RIGHT along the road. … What was I supposed to do, NOT take pix? 🙂

Temple looks a bit like an ethereal ghost horse, running through a dream space … complete with prince’s plume blooms.

So think dreamy, and it’ll look just fine. 🙂

That is an incredible shot, sharpness is overrated for one like this. Beautiful capture!!

I’m so glad it works, despite the softness. It sure caught my eye when I was browsing through thumbnails!

In August of 24 we happened on a dead cow in the national forest. There was a big bear feeding on it but it was almost dark. I had my camera and telephoto and had to slow the shutter speed way down to get decent pics when he was still. Suddenly another bear came out and they immediately started fighting. I just held the shutter down and got quite a few shots but they were moving so they’re very soft. I ended putting them to together in a slide show to show the action. None are good enough to stand alone but the slide show worked. Once in a lifetime opportunity! Maybe you can watch this.

I often dream of the wonderful day we spent with you, seeing the beautiful wild horses of Spring Creek Basin ❤️

That WAS a great day, Carol! 🙂 So happy that I was able to get you and Stephen out to the basin to see the mustangs.

This is amazing, TJ! “Ghost horse” in a “dream scape” is a perfect description. It’s like a painting from some Gothic tale. And so beautiful! What a photo.

Sometimes, a bit of photographic experimentation works pretty well. 🙂 The mustangs pull it off, no matter the light (or lack thereof)!

A beautiful image TJ, it looks as if his spirit guide is galloping right beside him 🤍

I think she’s mine … galloping right alongside. 🙂
