Late afternoon herd of ponies photographed from dry land. Which means no bouncing telephoto lens issues ๐.

At the end of each day a road is opened in the federal lands where the ponies live. We passed by a marsh with perfect timing. ย A herd was coming by heading to a watering hole in the nearby scrub pine forest.

Iโll take the dark one, Ted – packed in a big wooden crate with enough food and drink to survive the trip. Next Day Express deliveryโs fine; just send the bill. I promise Iโll take good care of it ๐
Depending on herd size they do have a yearly auction. Iโll sign you up. Last year they raised a million US dollars. ๐๐
One million dollars ๐ซข Guess Iโll have to stash away a bit more of my pension first ๐
Love these beauties!! ๐๐ผ๐ฅฐ๐
