Spring Canopy at the Horse Farm by alophoto

Spring Canopy at the Horse Farm

I just can't seem stay away from this place. It's only a mile or two from my home and it is just so stinkin' pretty and idyllic. I want to show the seasons here and I set out to capture spring today. It would have only been more perfect had the trees been flowering.

An interesting side note is that a new lady joined photo club this month and works here. She said that she worked at a horse farm and I asked her if it was this one and ironically it was. "Oh cool, I stalk that place." I told her. "If you see a red van parked out front, it's me!" Maybe I can go visit her there sometime for photos from another pov and get close to the horses.

Here is my first shot of this amazingly gorgeous driveway taken for my project last year: http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-10-11

And here it was in the winter: http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-12-26

I missed the fall and am determined to get it this year.
Such a pretty shot. I love that delecacy of the leaves just coming out, and the amazing green of the grass.

Beautiful scene and green colour. You'll have to go back again when the trees are in full bloom!
April 26th, 2013  
Gorgeous shot! Love that green!
April 26th, 2013  
Love the lead into the distance.
April 26th, 2013  
Stunning capture! Love the tones of green and how the path leads into the distance.

It is a stunning spot. I love taking photos of the same spot through the seasons. I'm looking forward to seeing these in bloom.

wish i could have a walk in that road now! so beautiful and i love the composition here! fab shot!
April 26th, 2013  
I just love that bend in the road! (rather like life). Lovely light and composition.
April 26th, 2013  
Beautiful shot, love the leading lines. Gorgeous spot to stalk.
April 26th, 2013  
i see why you stalk this place.....i would too!
I want to live down the end of that lane:)
April 26th, 2013  
Yes...sooo lovely! Will enjoy seeing the season changes. How cool that you met someone who works there! Road/path scenes are one of my favorites! Especially empty ones. Love this....FAV

Wonderful shot Amanda. Love the solitude and budding trees. Breathing deeply...ahhhhh.
April 26th, 2013  
I totally see why you can't stay away from this place....its beautiful that's for sure. I see a lot of photo opportunities there. Love your composition and perspective. The road seems to be endless and I like how it's not straight either. Wonderfully captured Amanda =)

Gorgeous place and shot! Great idea for the seasons
April 26th, 2013  
I can see why you love that place so much. It really is beautiful and I love how it draws your eye in. Wonderful shot, Amanda! And so cool you have a contact there from photo club.

So pretty, and so lovely to see spring.
April 26th, 2013  
The wind in that road just continues to amaze. I think it's got a great spring-y feel with just that mist of green starting.
April 26th, 2013  
I think it is so attractive because of that wiggle down there in the road! When you can't see the house, a long drive makes you want to go down and see it! Enjoying the music at the moment!
April 26th, 2013  
Such wonderful light & shadows Amanda! : )
April 26th, 2013  
very lovely! and indeed an awesome place to showcase the seasons :)
April 27th, 2013  
Really appreciate the fav/comments---Thanks so much !!
April 27th, 2013  
What great lines, love the rows of trees. I wish this was my driveway!
April 27th, 2013  
Very nice. Like the leading road. It gives the feel that everything moves at a slower pace here.
About your dense lion shot, I would never let other people get in the way of getting the shot I want. Who cares what they think? They'll forget about you within 2 minutes of driving past you
April 27th, 2013  
Beautiful. I see a big improvement in overall composition.
April 27th, 2013  
Beautiful capture - I just want to go roaming down that road :)
April 27th, 2013  
Wonderful spot! Trees are slow to bloom this year, it seems.
April 27th, 2013  
I love the tree lined driveways, beautiful shot.

@eyesmile Gene, I love that you loved this photo, too. Thanks so much for your sweet words and the fav, lady. You are sweet!

@abhijit I went out and took it. I took all of my kids and it went fine. No honks or obnoxious hooting. Thanks, man. The shot turned out ok, not the best, but I may use it eventually when I get around to editing it. It would have been much better at a different time of day so that the lighting would have been amazing. It's tough for a mom of 3 to get out when the lighting is best. I do what I can.

@bardejov You are kind to say that! Thanks, friend. Hope that I am improving steadily. Though I still wish I wouldn't go through highs and lows with my photography...is it too much to want to ALWAYS be good;-)!


@skpinny Me, too. I love love this driveway (though it would stink on a snowy day!!! Thanks, lady!

Thanks all so much for you sweet comments. I am sitting in a chair at the end of this driveway now as I reply to you (being a stalker and all;-). Yeah, though, I really love the place. Happy Monday:)!

LOVE this driveway and fence! Such a perfect place to photograph!
April 30th, 2013  
@tryeveryday I totally dig this place and can't stay away. Oh to live there and be able to be there always without being a stalking tresspasser;-).
April 30th, 2013
