Wildlife


Connecting with our furry, fluffy, and funny little friends out in their own habitat has to be one of the most rewarding opportunities for me as a photographer. To capture that image of them locking eyes with me, or even watching them play around in their own environment ~ these are moments that bring my soul joy.

A brown horse bends its head toward its foreleg in warm sunlight. This unguarded pause has a quiet appeal, bringing you close to the gentle rhythms of an animal's self-care. The horse's long dark mane falls across its face, while coppery highlights bring out its rich brown coat and the curve of its muzzle. The photographer identifies the subject as one of the wild horses of the Salt River in Arizona's Tonto National Forest, and describes observing them without interference. Here, the lowered head turns ordinary grooming into a tender, almost regal gesture. You can linger over sunlight caught in the mane and the horse's calm focus, enjoying a moment that asks for no performance or explanation. Its simple composure leaves you with the pleasure of seeing an animal at ease in its own world.
