Spotted this guy at the Feria and realised it’s been awhile since I first posted about Horses That Stand Like Jim Morrison. Then a quick look at Instagram (yes, there’s a hashtag) showed that I really haven’t captured nearly enough of these guys doing their best Morrision impression. Will need to be more diligent.

It also suddenly became summer yesterday, with beautiful blue skies and temps of around 32º or more.

So here are a few pics from yesterday, with possibly some “feria by night” ones to come. It’s been years since I’ve been to Feria in the evening, but I have an invitation to go tomorrow, so we shall see.

horse of the dayThis is for Beth…

Honestly, this guy looked way more magnificent than I was able to capture. Kind of like when I used to try taking photos of Azar – the ALL BLACK thing kind of works against catching all the gorgeous details. But he was gorgeous.

The other horse of the day that I missed was an amazing creamy white albino with a stunningly beautiful woman riding him – they went by in a flash and I looked everywhere to try and find them again to no avail.

Am now home with Feria Feet and need to take them to bed… xx
