Amish Work Horses 2
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 13 December 2007 in Animal & Insect.
The barn in the background belongs to Amos, the cousin of the owner of the horses. Amos is a carpenter, not a farmer, and built his house and barn on a 3 acre lot parceled off from his cousin's farm. All Amish have barns since they must house their carriage horses.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Remarkable creatures. Their blonde manes are beautiful. You captured and framed them well. The Amish are a wonderful community.
