Out Of The Mist
Hi guys, I spent the weekend in Gower S. Wales, where my wife is looking after her terminally ill Mother. I took the opportunity to go out Sat Morning, in the lovely misty grey weather we had, to look for the Gower Ponies. While I was taking some photos of this Mare, using my car as a 'hide', I was unaware that my offside was surrounded be 3 Large beasts. It gave me quite a fright, as they are not small, and can do considerable damage to a vehicle. Being a naturally inquisitive animal, one male decided my car tasted nice, and decided to lick the door and window! Saved me washing it lol. :biggrin:

Really nice portrait Paul, bigger size brings out much more detail in the head missing on the small one. :toast:

This one certainly deserves to be seen large Paul as some detail is lost on the smaller image. A very nice atmospheric appeal to this and the pony is certainly a handsome beast. :toast:
Please pass on my best wishes to your wife at this trying time.
