Family Park Date in Black & White

~ Julia Arnold ~ 4 Comments

I love color photographs. I really do!

Every once in a while, though, I love black and white photos even more. Sometimes a photo says more to me in black and white, as these did, below. I have no explanation for this.

These are a few recent photos of my husband, son, & daughter at the park. It was a record-breaking warm day in February, and as you can see from the clothing, we took advantage of it!

Rural Buildings

There’s no doubt about it, some days (okay, many days) I like to think of myself as a country girl at heart.

Perhaps the beauty I find in old rural structures speaks to that.

 

 

Old Barn
I see this building often. There is a large No Trespassing sign near it but I took a risk, snapped a total of 2 shots, and ran back to my car :).

 

Tiny White House
Tiny is cute.

 

Crossing Bridges
A covered bridge is a hidden gem in our neighborhood. You can’t get to it from the road.

Thank you for visiting! You can find daily photos of the cute, quirky, & beautiful on my Instagram feed. I’d love to see you there.

Jake the English Shire

~ Julia Arnold ~ 3 Comments

I’m not sure if you can tell from the photos, but Jake is HUGE. He is a rescue English Shire horse now living in harmony at Sundown Horse Shelter in Hugo.

I love photographing him, but as you can see, he barely paid me any notice as he gobbled his morning hay and alfalfa.

Cool of Jake copy

 

I could barely get any shots of him not eating. Hey, he has to eat A LOT. Far be it for me to stop him.

Bliss copy
I love the look of bliss on his face here.

 

Pretty Light with Jake

Yes, this one, below, is the only one where he isn’t munching! Big Jake in Shelter copy

February Snow

~ Julia Arnold ~ 2 Comments

It was “unseasonably warm” in Minnesota today, which is in quotes because it’s still hilarious to me that 35 degrees is considered warm here, but oh well. At least I wasn’t freezing!

Of course, it meant I couldn’t resist going to Sundown Horse Shelter and taking some pictures of all the sweeties there.

Roan at Sundown
The unusual coloring on this guy photographs beautifully; he looks different in every shot.

 

 

Brown Horse with logo
This sweet-faced horse watched me the entire time I was snapping away. 

 

Black and White Mustang with Logo
I usually prefer color photography with horses, but I liked this image in black and white even better.

 

Jed's Eye with Logo
Did you really think I could make a visit to Sundown without taking about 100 shots of the sweet Jed? 

 

Have you liked my Facebook page? It’s up and running now, and I’d love it if you visited and shared it with any horse-loving friends!
