Wild Flowers and Wild Horses

There are things that I love finding when out exploring.  Wild flowers are included at the top of the list.  These flowers were found in northeast Arizona, near the four corners area.  There's something to be said for something beautiful in an area that isn't classically pretty when examined at a micro level. I love the color of these flowers... such a vibrant coral color.

But wild horses are the best!  These horses are the first wild horses I had ever photographed.  There is something so beautiful about the horses roaming the country side, completely free.  This was a small group, less than 6, that would stick together often.  The rangers at a nearby National Park knew of the horses and would tell stories about them, but each horse was described by color or gender.  They had no names defining them.
