landgrove, vermont

While driving through Landgrove, Vermont,
I spied this beautiful horse standing in a snowy field
- the white horse in the white field had such a dream-like quality


Me: Wow - white on white - that sure was pretty! - I wonder how it would look in a photo
Greg: Too bad you don't have your camera
Me: Ummm, I do - but what are the chances she'll still be in the same spot?

The chances? Yeah, pretty much zero...
But I did manage to catch this shy beauty's last glance before she hid behind the trees.
Note to self - always have camera ready when driving through Landgrove...

More snow this morning - but then, this is Vermont...
I'm pretty sure mud season is on its way - then maybe Spring flowers
:-)

I'm joining Eileen for Saturday's Critters
Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Wow - amazing shot - almost like a fairy picture. I'm sure glad the horse stayed long enough for a photo. I keep my camera in my hand at all times in the car (since I'm not driving) because you never know what will be nearby.

  3. I can't tell you how many times I am driving and spot the perfect shot....and it doesn't happen. But you captured this sweet scene and a bonus is the headstones in the background.

  4. Looks like the horse is visiting an old cemetery! Have you skied this winter, Karen? Still lots of snow in Breckenridge. I'm hosting grandchildren on their spring breaks.

  10. Oh I love this! It's such a beautiful shot. I never seem to have my camera when I see something really cool. Trying to get in a habit of carrying it with me.

  12. Can I please just say how happy I am to see you again today?! Love the image.....now a little advice, when driving in the passenger seat, keep your camera on your lap and your zoomey lens in your cup holder, always!!

  15. Like an illustration from an expensive fairy tale book. :) Love it!
    My husband usually drives and I most always have my camera in my lap. Yes, chances happen. My hubby spotted eagles once and we had to find a place to make a u-turn to go back. I got my photo. :)
