Horse (and guard) on parade

August 31, 2011

She doesn’t make it easy, does she that Tara Cain? She said she wanted us to go out and photograph animals (not just cats and dogs) so yesterday during my lunchtime I traipsed over to St James’s Park looking for animals to photograph (and not just birds – there are a lot of birds in St James’s Park).

And then inspiration struck. I raced over to Horseguards Parade and got some a snap of this handsome chap (I mean the HORSE, *cough*).

Mission accomplished.

Fabulous picture! I was there myself yesterday for the very first time. I can’t believe I’ve never done the ‘tourist’ thing in London before now, I had such an amazing day 🙂

I love the horses there, could spend hours watching them (well that’s what I tell my husband 😉 )

What a stunning creature. Something so elegant and regal about horses, especially dark ones.

I bet there is one with the rider more prominent too! 😉 Great shot!

Great idea! I do love watching the horse and guard parades – for the horses obviously 😉
