Wow, this is amazing!! What perfect timing! Were you waiting for the horse to come into the shot or did it just happen?
Arla M. Ruggles replied
I was running around like a maniac, trying to get the horse between me and the rainbow … he was running around in a magnificent display of mustang wildness; whether to impress the mare, or me, or just feeling the excitement of impending storm ….?
... stay tuned … I have something even better, from the same day … ;]

D)I’m so glad to hear that I’m not the only one who runs around like crazy trying to capture that perfect moment!!! :
Arla M. Ruggles replied
There were two of us on the site—both running around, rolling in the dirt and brush when necessary, all the while hoping not to get struck by lightning, or get our cameras rained on … and fully willing to risk it! Photographers! :D)))

Arla, that is so awesome!!! 18 min. – Wow – isn’t it fun?! What we won’t do for a pic – I’m happy to know that you didn’t get struck by lightening, that would not be good!!! ;-) I have gotten some pretty strange looks and comments when people see me in all kinds of wierd positions trying to get a shot, even my family! LOL
