You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need

– The Rolling Stones

This refrain from one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs was running through my head as I collapsed the tripod and headed back to the car. I had driven the Brush Creek road near Crested Butte, CO, many times over the past several weeks. The road wound through some ranch land and there were horses grazing in the pastures. Each time I drove past this vista, I wished for some horses to photograph with the mountain as a background. Alas, it did not seem that my wish would be granted. The horses were always in different pastures or in the wrong part of this pasture.

Then, one morning, there was a horse that had nicely placed himself in front of the mountain — amid wildflowers, even. I hopped out of the car and took several photographs. I didn’t get my wish for multiple horses, but I did get what I needed.
