Sunday afternoon, I had to suck it up out of my crying jag over the foal and go do something I had previously been very excited about. And I am so glad I did, as it perked me up.
We went back to the iris farm that I saw last week, and had a photo shoot with Sly.
Because the ground was wet from the monsoons, we were a little limited on positioning, and thus have some shadow issues, but it was still really fun.
Sly was amazing. This is on the side of a busy highway and he was not phased by the traffic.
He was so well-behaved, I had a ball shooting him. I could have done that forever.
He is such a ham. And then he botches up this shot with the ears going wonky, something he almost never does.
I love this one
This would have been awesome had the shadows not interfered. Shows off his hind leg a little
Barry ain't so bad his own self, huh? I love doing pics of him. Sly makes it easy and Barry makes crazy faces, so it is hard to get a good one, but when I do, I feel like I really did something. And they are both so pretty, it makes it fun.
Thank you SO MUCH to the Colvins, who own this place and were so gracious that they let us do this on their one day off of the week. I have wanted to do it for years, and finally got my nerve up to ask, and they were so willing to let us. Thanks so much!

both boys are gorgeous and that last one of Sly......good job Paige!
WOW...great shots!!!
And it makes me sad - I sure miss my orange boy. He certainly was Sly's son.
Wow, that is one hot horse! And one fine husband as well!
I love how well Sly does ground tying!! Great horse, and the pictures are great...Of both of them!!
Well, you have two hawt looking studs. :) Great pics.
Those were great. Shadows are a pain to deal with. I think that was a perfect place, among the Iris.
Well I must agree with Holly; Both boys are pretty hot. Something about a cowboy and his horse always makes me weak in the knees;)
Very nice photos Paige.
What a beautiful horse and, as you say, your Barry ain't no slouch either! LOL Was so sorry to read that the newest baby boy just couldn't make it! I just love all the pictures of all the fouls and I check your blog every day to see if there are any new arrivals!
Beautiful photos and irises are one of my favorite flowers.
Great pictures Paige! Sly is such a pretty boy, and you're right, Barry isn't so bad his self! ;)
Those pictures are awesome! And Sly is so pretty!
Awesome pictures. Of course, Sly was well-behaved;, he knew he was the center of attention.
Both studs look fantastic.
Mom
You are getting so good with your camera, what a beautiful place to shoot at.
Definitely going to throw my lot in with the other ladies and say both boys are hawt! That last pic is simply gorgeous!
I can understand why you could do that all day. They are absolutely beautiful pictures.
Those pictures are just gorgeous. Makes me want to chunk the city life.
I'm so sorry about the foal...got a little teary at those pics.
i was wondering if you were going to say anything about how hotty your hubsand is... downright foxy. All of these pics are gorgeous. Sly is such a handsome dude... but Barry is the quintessential cowboy.

Great pictures. You need a program like Adobe Photoshop to lighten up those shadows. I don't have a problem with them. Photoshop has a function called "highlight/shadows" which can brighten only the shadows, darken the highlights or a combination of the two.
If the shadow really bugs you, send me the high resolution image file and I'll fix it and send it back.
BEEAUUTTIIFFULLL!
What gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing :D
