Catching the spark in Sparks, Maryland

Today Jules, Chopper, Marcy, and I visited my grandfather in Sparks, Maryland to take a hike in the wonderful spring weather.  Jules and Chopper had never met my grandfather so I was anxious to introduce them. Unsurprisingly, everyone got along great and the hike was wonderful. As we were all walking around, I decided to take pictures with my 50mm Prime lens instead of the telephoto I used last time. Using the 50mm lens allowed me to get much closer to the horses which brought out the detail in their coat for instance.  Below is a sample of some of the shots I got this time around- for more check out my Maryland Flickr set.
