A horse trails this couple taking an afternoon ride in a field outside Zion National Park in Utah. Cropped and used BuZZ simplifier filter.

  Hi, Jean! Thank you so much! Yes, it was so neat to spot this scene as we drove to our hotel. My husband pointed it out first and it was one time that he didn't mind stopping at all. :-)

  Thank you very much, Kathleen and Barbara. :-)

Barbara, you're right, I am very proud of this one. But many times the photos I'm most proud of aren't recognized. That's OK, though. :-)

  Thanks so much, Carolyn, Leanne, Dolores, Mary-Ella, Su and Murry! I appreciate you taking time to comment. :-) ... Murry, yes, I was wise. When my husband is the one to say "Stop, you've gotta photograph this!" who am I to argue? I'm more than happy to oblige and start shooting. LOL!

  Thank you, Darren and Rick! It was kind of appropriate that after posting this photo, we went to see the movie "Seabiscuit" (about the racehorse). Excellent movie, I recommend it highly! :-)

  Really nice one, Patricia. I like the lines of the different shades of grasses. P.S. I can't keep up with your ongoing travels! Do you ever go to work anymore??? =) I just got back from Costa Rica - should have some so-so snapshots up sometime soon.

  And I thought Seabiscuits were those little crackers they serve in Maine with the chowder :0)

  WOW!!! Stunning image Patricia!!! I love the contrast of the softness of the grasses and the clarity of the horses and figures...just beautiful...like they're floating...definitely a winner in my book! ;>)

Patricia Marroquin
  Murry, I now have a serious craving for some chow-DAH. :-)

Piper, thanks! The various shades of grasses, as well as the horses, were what attracted me to the scene. ... And I'm done with vacations for a while -- none planned in the foreseeable future. Now, I have a hard time believing you've got so-so Costa Rica pics. Bring 'em on! Can't wait to see them.

Debbie, thanks so much! Hadn't thought about the "floating" aspect, but I can see that now. I think the BuZZ simplifier filter enhanced that. :-)

  What a way to end my long, busy workweek! Thank you, one and all -- Murry, Rick, Darren, Dolores, Joy, Debbie, Colette and Evy!

Murry, it does pay to buzz! And speaking of paying, even though I still had more free tries with the BuZZ simplifier filter, I went ahead last weekend and bought it online. It's definitely worth the $30! :-)

Thanks once again everyone! :-)
