Title: Equus Orb (One)
One of the most popular horse images in the AI gallery. I took this shot January 2005 on the Little America miniaure horse farm just south of Austin, where I find many strikingly colored animals such as this mare.
Title: Spring Storm
The flowers of a Texas spring are beautiful but they fade all too fast with the first blast of summer. The blackening sky of an approaching afternoon storm provided just the right lighting to capture the delicate pink hues of these native winecups.
Title: Sisters
Mares form close-knit packs of their own in the winter months when many of them are coming into the final term of their pregancies. I've noted these two in particular over several years because they seem the best of friends.
Title: Little America's Wild Thing
There's something about a pink-nosed, blue-eyed baby miniature horse in a field of buttercups! I first published this image in 2004 as a promotional postcard but four years later continue to hear from people all over the world who have somehow acquired it.
(Wild Thing today works as a therapy horse, visiting hospitals and schools where he brings cheer to infirmed patients and children.)
Title: Equine Madonna (One)
This mare graciously allowed me within a few feet of her hours-old baby to capture this loving moment. A wonderful gift for anybody's mother--regardless of her species!
Title: Ornaqua (One)
First in a series of photographs taken of the ducks and geese who frequent our parks here in Austin. Their natural elegance in doing even the simplest things never disappoints the camera.

Title: Ornaqua (Two)
Title: The Bonded Pair / Ornaqua (Three)
I found these Canada Geese grazing on the estate of Washington Irving in Westchester County (New York). Largely considered pests in that part of the country, they still presented a wonderfully tranquil moment.
Title: Windcatcher
I encountered this downy feather naturally impaled on a twig in the middle of a windswept pasture. It was no bigger than my thumbnail but displayed itself in exquisite, subtle detail.
Title: The Bonded Pair
Caught in mid-embrace, these tranquil donkeys seem integral to their winter pasture near Buda, Texas.
