Tails From Provence

Flurry really does love it here.

Happy to see me!

He is so happy.  Happy when he sees me coming, happy to work in the arena, happy to hack on his own, happy to hack with Aero or other horses.

Happy ears on a hack

I’m happy he’s happy – I just wish he wasn’t so filthy all the time!

Aero is not so happy, he is still a bit anxious about his new environment, but we’ll get there.

Flurry has been growing his ‘tash again for Movember.  It’s pretty good.

Aero wanted a photograph taken of his ‘tash, too.

I humoured him.  He has plenty of whiskers but no ‘tash!

I played around and took photos of his eyes – Auruora at equine expressions had done an eye shot for the Sunday Stills Macro challenge and it got me thinking.

Getting a horse to stay still for a macro shot is not easy and there were plenty of fuzzy shots…

 underexposed shots…

 and finally a razor-sharp well-lit shot (complete with eye-goop I hadn’t noticed)

but this slightly under-exposed shot is my favourite

You can see right into his soul in this one.
