“Grazin’ in the grass…”

(Hugh Masekela, 1968, for those of you keeping score at home.)
It was a 14-frame day, with this one shot on the way back from a row on the lake with the erstwhile president of the rowing club. We had to dodge “scattered showers” to sneak in a one-hour row and I did not take a camera in the boat with us. Not a very good shot for at least a couple reasons, but it’s (with apologies to Sublime) what I got.

It's a beautiful horse. Sounds like you are really getting into the rowing.

Um. Guilty on the rowing. I only started about 4½ years ago. I quickly discovered that the Concept2 indoor rowing machine is the single best machine in the gym. Currently, I have logged more than 11¼ million meters indoors (just shy of 7,000 miles). My wife & I bought a shell and oars 2+ years ago. Then PFDs, cross bars for my car, Yakima "saddles" to actually cradle the shell car-top. Yeah, it's been quite an endeavor, but I am in the best shape of my life!

On the solstice, June 21, I hope to row another half-marathon, http://www.concept2.com/us/motivation/challenges/individual/summersolstice.asp…

beautiful shot. I love how the horse is off center! :)

@cohare Yeah, well this was super-creative composition and cropping because there were three other horses. Problem: they were mostly northward facing and I was to their south.
