Saw these two little folk petting this horse that had been standing probably all day in this one spot, it kind of worried me, but they were not afraid. I took a couple of shots with their backs to me and was about to leave when they both turned around and yelled, No pictures, no pictures. They waved and I drove on.

That's a real keeper, Carol. It may not adhere to good compositional expectations, but the subject material is priceless and exceptional.

What a great capture, Carol. Excellent scene, and really good quality, too.

Carol, when Amish people yell at me, "No pictures, no pictures," I get out of my car, pop the trunk, grab my baseball bat and let 'em have it. Same for these two little rapscallions. It's a tough world out there, and the sooner they find out, the better. Think of yourself as their best teacher as you whap them with your bat. :-)

Lovely shot. Obviously I would have taken a look at this in black and white mode and sepia tone to see if there were any advantages. But I'm happy that you snapped this one off before they caught you. The chances of them seeing this on Caedes is pretty minimal.

I like Amish shots Carol. They will soon own most of Iowa and a good portion of Missouri. I just hate to think of all those Electric Coop's closing. :) Wonderful work.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Beautiful shot, Carol. I find it compositionally pleasing and the colors are great.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

You weren't down to the races to get this shot of the bob-tailed nag were you?
A great capture, Carol. A wonderful looking scene and presentation of the shot.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake

Carol - The shot is terrific - I like the mood of the image very much, enhanced by some fine photography skills. Thad

They secretly want to be in pictures;) This is really a cute post! Its kinda strange looking at this in color, it almost seems like they should be in B&W because of what they are wearing. I do like it in color.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
