52 Hearts - week 5 - movement

3/26/2013

As a member of HeARTs Speak, I have been participating in a weekly challenge/share of photographs.  The themes chosen are great for practicing different skills and it's fun seeing everyone else's interpretation through their images.  

So far weeks 1 - 4 have included the themes of:  Symmetry, Shadow, Humor, and Texture.  To see my submissions for previous weeks, please travel to my Facebook page.  I've moved the remainder of the weekly submissions to this blog, starting with Week 5 - Movement.

After considering all the daily movement around me--dogs running, playing, jumping; cats chasing each other; horses enjoying themselves in the field--I decided to interpret this week's challenge a little differently.  I was out shooting some photographs this weekend, when I came upon a beautiful barn.  I pulled my car alongside the road and walked up to the fence line to snap a photo. Suddenly, I saw a spotted head pop up several fields away.  It was a paint horse.

Horses are notoriously curious AFTER they get over their flight mode.  True to form, the paint decided I was very interesting and began to move toward me across the fields.  Within minutes, alternately trotting and walking, he was there at the fence, wondering if I had anything to give him besides a "hello."

Once I returned home and uploaded my images from the day, I realized I had one of the best moving creatures we could ask for in photographs, and a progression of moves coming toward me.  So I created a collage of the movement.  From Place 1 to Place 2, here is the spotted horse, satisfying his curiosity.

And just for fun, here is my dog, Burton, grabbing his ball for a run in the snow.  I decided to use his photo to share a message about life in general.  Enjoy!

I *really* like your paint horse series. You must have looked as cool to that horse as he did to you, to have him come all the way over to you. He sure is a handsome guy.

Horses are pretty curious animals. And he was alone. So at that point, I was company, and was holding something interesting. It could have been food. He was subtle about it, but I knew that's what he wanted. A treat!
