Sunrise Stare
This regal horse paused from his early morning graze to stare at the rising sun.
It was about 6:30 on a Monday morning. We were packing up to leave the lodge we stayed at the previous weekend in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I noticed some horses in a nearby pasture so I grabbed my camera and decided to try and capture a few images in the early morning light before we hit the road. This is one of the images from that brief morning attempt. I don’t know the horse’s name. (He didn’t say.)
