Description

I was photographing some dragonflies at a small lake and humming a little melody, when I noticed a soft snort behind me. When I turned around I had to laugh, because these four horses stood there, looking at me with ears pointing in my direction (obviously my humming caught the horses' attention - in fact the left one even forgot to chew for a while lol). Well then, say "Cheese". ;) Yesterday was the coldest day for years; in Bavaria the temperatures reached -34C (-20F)... Thanks for looking, favs and comments on my 2nd squirrel, I'm glad you like my work. :) Have a nice weekend! Regards, Karsten

Such a funny story, Karsten! They look as though they might break into a little dance. Unbelievable cold!

@ bronwyn_lea: LOL I remember that on this day I didn't get even one dragonfly captured (this was 2 yrs ago)... I think the four horses was the only pic of this day! :) @ babuci: this pic was taken in early summer 2005 lol... at those temperatures I prefer to stay inside our warm house (despite a little walk outside each day)

Awww now aren't they cute all being so inquisitive. As always a great shot, Karsten and a lesson in capturing the moment, thank you! Oh goodness me how on earth do you stand those very cold temperatures at the moment, it was just -2C here yesterday and I could not stand it each time I had to let my little doggies out to answer the call of nature!!! sending you warm hugs Karsten, Jane xx
