ReplyDeletethe lipizzans are beautiful...like the last capture of them...the colors of white,silver and cafe latte' blend so beautifully in this series. have a most lovely evening ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic combination of texture in color with these photographs. You have the whiteness of the those magnificent horses and the caramel of coffee. Wonderful and sensual.
ReplyDeleteMerisi, I always know that if I come over here, I'm going to be transported by some marvelous photos and post--sigh....beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese look like illustrations for a very special and magical children's book. I know these horses can fly in their airs above the ground -- and now I suspect they're fueled by melange
ReplyDeleteLovely...I love the way I can be transported from a Moose blocking the garden gate to a glimpse of the Stallions all in a moment...Thank you
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty...makes me feel like a kid again. I want to see the horseys!
ReplyDeleteI have just had a chance to catch up on your recent posts in a hotel with free WiFi.

ReplyDeleteAnd I loved that first shot where I could see the photographer in the spoon's reflection!!!
Wow.. so beautiful. I've scrolled down the page and am dazzled by colours and beautiful images. You're magic with that camera
ReplyDeleteOh, those beautiful lipizzans! I was a horse girl, and though I rarely get a chance to ride anymore...once a horse girl, always a horse girl someplace in your heart!
ReplyDeleteOh Merisi, I just love the Lipizzan Stallions in the last shot. That should be enlarged and hung. Great composition and textures.
ReplyDeleteLove the horses pictures !
ReplyDeleteI, too, was a horse girl. I want to kiss that lovely, soft muzzle and feel the prickly whiskers on my cheek.
ReplyDeleteI love the attitude of the horses in that last picture. Great hues too.
ReplyDeleteOn this cold winter evening of January 27, 2010,
ReplyDeleteI read all of your wonderful comments, and they warmed my heart!
Thank you all so much,
