Horses in Stanley Idaho

Photographer's Statement:

Horses in Stanley is a beautiful picture of two wild horses approaching the fence. They both had beautiful coloring and seemed to be siblings or close friends. I took this picture in the middle of June 2024. This picture shows how beautiful the summers are compared to the winters. In most of Idaho, the winter is traitorous and very snowy. But in the summer it is warm (maybe too warm) and gorgeous. The mountains are clear of snow and bright green.
