Sleigh Ride Worth Howling About

My apologies for not posting for quite some time because I have a good number of shots, just setting time aside to do it can be a challenge. With that said here is a shot I took this past week after our area got 4-5 inches of new snow. I will drive the backroads scanning for anything with potential and as I looked in the distance I wondered if what I saw heading my way might be a sleigh? Sure enough it was and it is these special moments that strike a chord with me and get filed away in my memory as yet another blessing in my photography career. It is not just the sleigh, or the bells jingling, or the snowflakes flying, or the horses in perfect synchronization, but if you look closely there are at least eight dogs snuggled in enjoying the ride as well. You got the captain up front, the white one peeking around the corner, there are three in the ladies lap, two in the arms of the rear passenger, and my personal favorite is the one nestled in under the front seat where all you see is his white nose peeking out. For all I know there may have been more under the seats. Sometimes the simple things in life are the most special.

  1. What a wonderful photo, with the simple white snowy background bringing out the colorful sleigh with its laughing riders – plus dogs!

    Thank you Mr.Reese for the time and effort you put into making these photos and putting a smile on our face

  3. This is “picture perfect”! So glad you mentioned the dogs, I would not have seen them.

    I was on one sleigh ride some years ago complete with horsehair lap robes, bells and a snowy lane bordered by snow covered fir trees. Alas, no warm puppies, but it was magical nonetheless.

    Thanks for brining back that memory for me.
