What a thrilling sight this must have been Erika. I love this in black and white--nice clarity. Great, free movement you have captured here. #5668381

Erika Haight March 20, 2008

Thank you Nikki and Christina! The movement was easy to capture since they rarely stood still. I would just get close enought to get a decent shot and they were off again! I timed finding the herd perfectly because of all the newborns running around!! :))) erika #5668395

LOL! I do too Doc... My husband said, " it was the coolest thing to watch his wife RUN with wild horses" .. At first it was a little scary... but I wouldn't trade that day for the world!
