March 12: Photo Op Fundraiser

A unique opportunity to photograph a beautiful 52 acre ranch surrounded by mountain views. You will be up close and personal with a wide array of farm animals, including over 40 horses in a variety of breeds from majestic Gypsy Draft horses with their distinctive blue eyes to a stout little Icelandic horse. In addition to the horses, you will have the opportunity to photograph alpacas, chickens, burros, a miniature steer, a potbelly pig, a sheep, a llama, and a variety of goats including several adorable Pygmy goats that are about the cutest little guys you will ever see. On the ranch are bales of hay, a photogenic old farm truck, old farm equipment, lots of interesting little bits and pieces to shoot some great macro shots. Adjacent to the ranch is a wonderful vintage red brick silo that looks amazing in the golden hours. It can easily be photographed from the boundaries of the ranch.

This beauty might soon disappear as developers are already poised to move in, so shots of it against the open range are sadly going away soon.
