I spent a couple of days in the country with my mom about a month ago. And by country, I mean there are no street lights, no sidewalks and no one to hear you scream if stumble upon ax murderer kind of country.<\/p>\n

I’m a city slicker – the closest I get to nature are the three New Guinea impatiens and coleus plant I have on my deck. \u00a0The wildlife in the city includes pigeons, rats the size of cats, and the dudes preaching on the street corners.<\/p>\n

Being in a new environment had me excited to take a photo walk in the early morning hours. \u00a0I envisioned a zen walk through the country taking pictures of rolling hills with cows, horses and sheep. \u00a0I didn’t see any cows or sheep, but I did see some horses on some rolling hills – so not a total bust.<\/p>\n

Of course, my walk was anything but zen. \u00a0I spent the entire time terrified that I’d run into a snake or worse, a crazed hill billy careening down the gravel road in his pick-up truck. \u00a0I’m fully aware that my fears are ridiculous. \u00a0If I had any sense, I’d be afraid to walk down dark alleys in a city that has over 400 homicides in 2021. \u00a0But alas, I find the country infinitely more terrifying than Chicago.<\/p>\n

Ridiculous fears aside, I’m pleased with the way the photographs turned out. It’s hard to not like pictures of horses.<\/p>\n
