Just about two weeks ago my Husband and I set out on a road trip to give the newly converted GMC 1998 Suburban a run for its money.  We made the decision to travel to Montana since I had never been and we were due for some well-deserved time.  What better way to be close than to pack up a 6 ft rig and what we would need for 6 days and a dog.  We planned to drive just about halfway and spend the night in a simple and safe place to sleep. We called ahead to make reservations at Bernie and Sharon’s Riverfront RV Park. We arrived just about10:30 or so found our slot and went to sleep. This is the view we woke up to. What a fantastic beginning to our trip. So Sharon and Steve got to talking and he paused to indicate to me that he saw a horse through the trees - I grabbed my camera and promptly went beyond the trees to investigate...

As I go around the corner in the far-off distance are 4 beautiful horses grazing in the field. Picturesque as it can get, early morning dew, Montana sunrise morning and it’s just myself and them. I walk up to the fence just to enjoy the moment and to my surprise, all four of the horses start making their way over to me. Awe that’s nice, but wait, they practically huddled around me to get and give love.  It was the most beautiful moment, something I had only wished someone was in the background capturing on video, but nonetheless, it was truly amazing.  After our brief but special moment, I returned to where my husband was still speaking to the establishment proprietor, and my husband just says, “ You had FUN, didn’t you?” I suspect that I was glowing.  Here are a few of the images that I shot that morning. 












These beautiful animals were so affectionate and responsive to me in a way I have never experienced before.  You see in this last photo that this darn horse pushed down the wire with its neck just to try and get to me.  It was really hard to walk away.  


I will be posting a few of the images I shot in my Art Gallery that will be for sale.
