Horses are my favorites to photograph, so I finally made the trip to Assateague Island in Virginia to photograph their famous ponies. They are strikingly beautiful and live in such a unique habitat which make for superb photographic opportunities.
I did not get the one shot I wanted which was ponies on the beach/in the surf. That's OK, it just means I get to go back to this wonderful place !
May means baby foals and they were beautiful. The blue eyed paint colt was a very confident and precocious lil' guy. he often left his Mom to explore...even walking up to me. The other foals stayed close to their Moms.
The cream colored filly was very popular b/c she looks like the pony Misty of Chincateague.
The ponies, wildlife, scenery, beaches of Assateague were just amazing !
Hi Tom. Terrific photos. I love the one of Mom and colt heads together shot. My favorite.
