About a year ago, I had a great first great adventure looking for wild Mustangs, you can read about it here.

This trip, I was heading deeper into the west desert of Utah to see if I could locate larger herds of these amazing wild horses. I knew it would be a challenge as the herds have been thinned out over the years.

On this second trip, the skies were clear and the sun bright.  I took my photo trip companion, my hot little composition gal (my wife) and we drove further west to find the next possible location for more wild mustangs. We covered a lot of ground and finally located one very small herd.

These horses were skittish, they would play a little game with us, running to and fro, daring us to get closer. They were holed up in a little valley surrounded by small hills. There was one hill in particular that the horses seemed to be attracted to. So I focused my attention there and my patience paid off. One beautiful Mustang ran to the top of the hill and then turned around and looked down at me. From my view down below, It was as if he was floating in the clouds giving me the perfect composition! 

I am really happy the way this image turned out. I see this fabulous image hanging on the walls of horse lovers everywhere. This is the first image for my new “Dreamscapes” category. If you need help selecting a size for your room, feel free to reach out to me!
