blissful inspiration

I find that often times I find something, latch onto it and can’t seem to let it go.  Lately that thing has been horses (my bliss readers already know this).  Especially when it comes to photography.  I have been doing my best to put myself in situations where I am lucky enough to point my camera at these beautiful animals.  I have also become completely taken with some of my favorite photographers’ interpretations:

    I’ve been wanting to paint them lately- beautiful photos!

  3. They are so beautiful. I’ve had one on my Christmas list every year since I was five. Maybe someday….

  4. Oh my god, I’ve suddenly got this crazy urge to go jump a fence, chase down a horse and hug the crap out of it! ;) Not literally, of course. The crap part, I mean.

    These images are just amazing.

  21. I love, love, love pictures of horses. Beautiful creatures. Have even tried some on my own horses with, let´s say, various results. I especially loved the one at the top with the eyes

    these are so inspirational.
    so here’s the thing- i have a tiny fear of horses. it may be their majestic size, or maybe i think they smell my fear? but to get over it, i’ve forced myself to start photographing them. some horses seem to like it lol. but it’s been working so far.

    You have to check out the horse photographs by Ann Hall. they are incredible. i saw them years ago and they still haunt me. Check out the series “the dowry” on her site.

    i haven’t been there in a while – i’m going to explore some more. I imagine all of her work is amazing.

    Lovely photographs even though I have never ever been into horses….I haven’t even sat on a horse in my life!

    Donkeys however….now they are lovely! So full of personality. I would love to own a small holdings and have two donkeys =) KA
