Buckskin Herd & Tornado Lesson

I finally got a chance to photograph a herd of 20 mares, their foals and their overseeing stallion. He wasn't too happy that I was around when I started photographing them. After I changed locations and moved downwind, he seemed to settle down and allow me to walk around a bit more without being so wary.

The one photo that I missed today was a picture of a small tornado that touched down just east of Peetz at about 2:45pm. It was one of those moments where I kicked myself for leaving my camera bag at home. It was a small twister that touched down in a tilled field and did not damage. This was the first tornado I had ever seen and I missed my photo op... So. The tip for the day.. Always, Always have your camera with you and ready, out of it's case and on a setting where you can take any picture. I will sure adhere to my own advice for a while.
