We have been in town all day and got home this afternoon, later than usual. Daisy and I fed the chaps that have hard feed (Efstur, Kappi and Taktur) and then Daisy herded them out of their field down to their night-time field.
I stood at the bottom of the hill and tried to take photos of the herd galloping down the hill towards me.
Only Taktur and Kappi moved in anything more than a trot.
And, apart from Kappi, it wasn’t really the impressive photoshoot I had imagined.
Darling little Hjalti gave it his best, though.
But then he saw me in his field…..
And wanted a close-up! He is a very people-“person”.
Daddy, once at the bottom of the hill, just stood looking handsome, which was not the look I wanted. I was after galloping, speed and excitement.
But all I got was Kappi trying to play with his best friend, Taktur.
I suppose it was later in the day than usual. Maybe another time.

While this was not the action photo shoot you wanted, to see Estfur stop and make a beeline towards you was impressive. And such a nice picture of 2 BFF just hanging out.
The “family” out in the field looks great, but you have a talent for taking photos of the island and it’s skies that are magnificent. I love that last photo!
Hope you’re feeling better!!!!!!!!
