Featured Image for June 2026

"Romeo"

I captured "Romeo" mid-run across a dusty open field. The dramatic cloudy sky and distant hills create a spacious, wild backdrop, while the horse’s motion kicks up dust and gives the image a sense of energy and freedom. The weather on this particular morning gave us beautiful light.  We photographed him an hour after sunrise (with overcast skies).

"Romeo" is a Gypsy Vanner stallion available for breeding at the Making Pegasus Ranch in Lockwood, CA. He was a favorite at the Pegasus Equine Photography Retreat because of his features: striking coloring and coat, beautiful flowing mane, tail, and feather; all qualities of the Gypsy breed.  His parents were "Tracy's Grand Finale" and "Moonlight Mist".  He is six years old.  He was photographed on the second morning of the Pegasus Equine Photography Retreat, May 13th, 2026 at 7:27 a.m.

We love taking people to see and photograph the horses. It's a magical experience and a gift to share it with others.

"Legacy"

In mid April I attended a Photography Excursion with , to visit the Onaqui herd in western Utah. Since it was my first time to photograph this herd, I wanted to go with a quide who has been there many times;  Wendy Casey. We went out at sunset and sunrise, three times. We were short on sleep by the time we were done (it's an hour + drive from our hotel out to the desert and an hour + back, twice a day), but we had a glorious time and I captured over 11,000 images (only a few are great and will end up in my Fine Art Gallery).

I posted a few of my images in the Action Photo Tours alumni page in Facebook and was honored with "cover photo of the week" so I'm sharing that image as the featured image this month. It was taken our first evening out on the range; April 15, 2026, at 5:39 p.m. I edited the image to crop in on these three horses who were part of a larger band that were all running together toward me because I liked how the action was captured in this shot (I took 113 images from the time this group started running until they had completely stopped; running at me and then across from left to right as they passed me). To see the other images I created from this series, see the Wild Horses Album in my Fine Art Gallery.
