The State Arboretum is a peaceful place and I like to drive through it whenever I'm near Boyce. Even in winter I sometimes see animals or birds.I pulled off the road near a pond and got out to take a few photos. I was pleased to see someone riding a horse in the distance and got his picture as he passed a sunny spot.
Since I like watching horses, I drove next to the parking lot for horse trailers. Sure enough, the rider was there getting his horse ready to go home. But first he brushed him and let him graze in the grass.
There is a farm across the fence from the paddock. Cows had already noticed the man and his horse and were coming over to investigate.

Great set of photos. Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your photos (as always) and especially the interest the cows had in the horse! It looks as if they were curious, but perhaps you're right, that they anticipated some food.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great time to visit the arboretum, and were able to capture a lot of action.
ReplyDeleteGreat wintry shots and love the cows and horses ~ ^_^
