I bought some homemade root beer at an Amish farm a couple of weeks ago. That's where I met these two horses. I noticed that the horse on the right has a beard that looks just like his owner's.I laughed and as you can see the he didn't see the humor, but I think the other horse cracked a smile. This photo is at a weird angle because I was driving(on a farm but braked for a second) and the horses were on the passenger's side of my car.
This is my Face of the Week post.

I am not talking with you. I am not even looking at you. LOL
Sometimes I feel the same way with the husband especially the day he didn't shave.
I love these faces of the week. I can see the horse on the left smiling as well LOL Excellent shot and I love the B&W. James I'm wondering if you saw my reflection on Friday. No biggie if you didn't though. This has gotten to popular that it must take you a long time to go see everyone. :) I remember back when you first started it. Boy has it grown :) Congrats to you my friend :)
Haha, good one. Love that hairy shadow.
Poor horse, or poor owner! Was the rootbeer good/different?
Great photo! And so nice in b/w.
Wish you a nice week:-)
I like the big shadows behind!they give a strange light and a strange mood to the picture that I like very much!
driving and picturing at the same time?!...
Don't shoot and drive!
I love your smiling horses!
This is a great choice for Face of the Week. Love the shadows, and the B&W is perfect. I wish all drive by shootings were this pleasant :) Kathy
My grandmother used to make homemade root beer. I find people in Europe do not like root beer (what do they know?!), but it is my favorite soft drink. Birch beer too....
I LOVE this photo.
You can't look at this picture without smiling. It's a wonderful image and I love the shadow.
Sunny :)
Horse on the left "Hee Hee Hee...did you see that guy trying to take our photo...nearly drove off the road."
Horse on the right "Sigh...oh whatever dude, like I even care."
;)
A great b&w photo...love the shadows. Thanks so much for participating in 'Face of the Week' James - great photo!
The horse on the right has sad eyes...
He does have quite a soulful look!
Is that a barn they inhabit? It looks like they are in a regular house looking out the window like any person would do. Very surreal.
James, what a gorgeous shot. Love it.
This is a beauty. Sometimes those weird situations give you surprising results - it's not what you would have done otherwise, and sometimes it works. This one sure did. I love the soulful eye, the shadow of the bearded horse, and the vignetting around the edges.
You caught an adorable moment!! I love that guy's attitude. Wonderful.
Missing the portrait of the owner ... for comparison! :-)
Your photo looks fantastic, James. I like it done in black and white.
And you shot this while driving, Bravo!
An Amish horse, a beard but no mustache. He looks more bored than anything. Great photo.
Oh lol, the story is perfect! (The photo too, I love the way I want to touch the screen of the computer because it's so real!)
Amish horses must be in B&W, so this is fine to me. Great picture!
Great capture, love the beard too.
Fantastic!!
they both look a little bored. Like maybe it's time to go frolic in the fields or something.
excellent, James. I love the black and white and the shadows, too. These are good looking horses (but i love all horses!). they look like they've got a lot of personality! (and homemade rootbeer...so good! we got some last year at a fair in Texas, yum!)
How much I'd love to move throughout town and life sitting upon a horse, growing me a beard.
Please have a wonderful Tuesday.

This is gorgeous in black and white!
This is such a wonderful shot! I'm a sucker for horses. I like the "weird angle," as you say, and it is appropriate to be in black and white (as VP indicated).
Great shot, particularly while driving. We moved from PA a few years ago and used to see Amish all the time. You are right he has the perfect Amish beard.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Wow, I thought this was in a barn. Great drive by shot! Mono and shadow is even great.
I think the beard shows up even more in the shadow! Great capture! And...I think the horse on the left IS smiling at you!
Lovely capture James. Beautiful shadows.
this is a wonderful double portrait. I love it in black and white. well done James!
Hello James!
Both are cute but as Peter said, I also would like to see the portrait of the owner! :)
Léia
WOW!!!
:-)
This is really a special shot: beautiful moment, magnificent monochromatic effect!
These scenes are heartwarming very much.
The expression that they are tender is impressive.
I thought of Mr. Ed when I saw this photo. Great work.
I agree. The non-bearded one is laughing... ok, snickering. We've all heard horses snicker!
