Driving north on Indian River Drive, if I were driving I would have run us off the road at the sight I saw that day.
Last week, I photographed Juanita Lunn and her horse Fokke, a Frisian. I’m used to seeing horses in Fellsmere and I’ve even seen them on 58th Avenue. But, seeing Lunn at Riverview Park just caught me off guard.
I’m used to seeing mostly dogs – I’ve even seen a cat at that park, but a horse? And not just a horse, Fokke was huge! And so beautiful I couldn’t resist stopping.
I did that day what I seldom do, stopped to take photos on the way to another assignment. Thankfully, the other assignment wasn’t going anywhere fast.
Other’s stopped to photograph Lunn and Fokke, one nature photographer was disappointed that she didn’t bring a wide angle lens.
And let me tell you, the dogs were not a fan, although that didn’t stop their owners from taking in the sight.
