WILD HORSES - TRUE SYMBOLS OF FREEDOM
As I get ready for my next long trip to photograph in Wyoming, I think about some of the incredible moments I have experienced in the past years with the McCullough Peaks wild horses.
I can say the McCullough Peaks mustangs are at the top of my list as a favorite herd to visit. Besides roaming on breathtaking Wyoming landscape, these mustangs are as rugged as they come - thick manes, scarred bodies, large stature and mud (yes...mud) make these horses fascinating to photograph.
The bands roam together and at times you can see the dust lifting and hear the hooves beating the ground from far away. Your heart beats in anticipation of the sight you're about to see.
Suddenly they appear. Breaking over the ridge, they gallop at the break of day against dramatic Wyoming skies. This is freedom.
Those moments become ingrained in my mind and being able to capture it with my lens to share with you is the frosting on the cake.
With Gratitude -
