Denise, one thing to be careful off.... For your horse photos, make sure that you EITHER have the permission of the owner OR you're NOT on their property (fences are USUALLY INSIDE the property line NOT on the line!). If you go on their property they can (not saying they will) have you charged with trespass. In the US, TYPICALLY, you can photograph anything that's 1) visible from a public right of way (i.e. the street, sidewalk, public park, etc) and 2) AS LONG as it's not of an area where someone could rightfully expect privacy (DON'T take pictures THRU a window! ESPECIALLY into/of a bedroom, bathroom, etc!). These are just general guidelines, but will keep you from getting into TOO much trouble!





I've found that horse owners ESPECIALLY are very good at giving you permission to shoot (with a camera! []) their animals... They'll often give you much greater access than you would think!





The waterfall one, you might ask the landscaping company if you can come on their property to get photos. THEN you're not stopped on the shoulder of the road and just waiting for a police officer or deputy to ask you just what the heck you're doing!
