The Old Grey Mare

I had never seen a Common Buckeye (at least, I'm pretty sure that's what this is) with this grey coloring. Watched him for some time to be sure it wasn't the light hitting him strangely.

My mom taught that song to me. Cool shot of this.

Now there's an interesting question - do they go grey as they get older? Lovely close up, what gorgeous markings!

Beautiful shot...he doesn't look ragged, so maybe a little lacking in colour genes?
