You can imagine my surprise when the above foal came over to the fence and let me pet it. Mom was busy eating and didn't seem to be concerned that I was in conversation with her baby, which I figured is a few weeks old.

She took to me right away, slowly making her way to the fence. I kept moving up the fence line, away from her, and she kept following me.

Most of the time, when I've been given permission to snap some pictures, I make sure I go back and give them some pictures and a few note cards I've created from the pictures I took at their place. That's when I found this mare and foal in the field, as well as several other new foals.

Mom kept her trotting across the field which I enjoyed watching.

Soon the foal decided she'd had enough, and settled in.

There were three other mares and foals in another field. Those pictures didn't turn out well because the sun was bright. But I enjoyed snapping them too!

I think the snap I enjoy the most from this spring of foals is the one below. New life. That was a thrill!
