Here's Hannah waiting for her supper. Rosie had already passed this month, so there was only one supper bowl. This is a sad image for me, as Hannah died this year, May 2023. I am so sorry that she is not a part of our lives anymore, but still happy with her in our memories, such a loving and sweet companion.

Vidalia was lying in the sun when Bogart came over to join us. Vidalia didn't mind the invasion of her space. She just picked up her paw and draped it across her beloved Bogart. So sweet.
Bogart has such a gentle, sweet spirit. He is sensitive to any correction. If a cat hisses at him, even just in passing, Bogart remains cautious around that feline for a few days. Thankfully, Vidalia does not have the heart to hiss at her favorite canine. Well, she doesn't hiss at the overbearing puppy, either.

of affection. ;)
Wishing a very Happy Mother's Day to my mom, grandmother, sisters (you too Nikki, you're close!) and cousins. Love and thanks to you all!
And of course, sending warmest wishes to all the moms here in the flickrverse....quite a few babies arrived this year. :)
Even though they all come to the orphanage wounded and hurt, in more ways than one, they always find love and acceptance here. And most importantly a foster family and feeling of belonging to a herd. The older orphans more often than not adopt the younger ones at the nursery, showering them with constant care & affection. The young ones may be born into a different herd, but this is the one that nourishes them, comforts them and makes them believe in second chances.

between the horsebreeder and the foal...or, is she whispering?
LOOK AT THE HANDS...
I love photographing horses, not the easiest to do, there are standards, but with the help of the breeders it usually becomes a very pleasant and exciting experience.
Here was a fortuitous moment, as a photographer, yes you have to focus on the main subject and there is MUCH to think about and concentrate on, but as a creative you stay aware of what is going on around you, and these 'off' images often become my favourite shots...
One of the horses I had photographed was taken back, so this was one of those 'in-between' moments...
This is the mother in the family that breeds horses, it is tough and yet rewarding.
They witness the birth and tend to the foals with love and yet when they lose one, they are quite stoic about it...
Such tenderness, closeness, emotion, just HAD to be captured.
I wrote a BLOG about THE IMPORTANCE of HANDS in PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY: click HERE: magdaindigo.blogspot.com/2009/01/importance-of-hands-in-p...
I uploaded a small series here, well, it was hard to choose...
I wish you the best of days and thanx for your visit, always very welcome, M, (*_*)

Kolgrim: False Warmth of Affection ~ Chapter Two
Kolgrim wanders the land alone looking for any sign of life. As he was scrounging in the forrest for critters to eat he came across a family of snails. Any living thing he finds is a miracle to him. Not only because it gives him a sense of not being alone, but it's also a source of food. His snail friends will keep him company for the moment until his hunger pains overpower his strong desire for connection. Food is scarce, so he must do what he can to survive if only for another day. As he feels the false warmth of affection, he thinks to himself of how much he enjoyed being with his family, even though they became very dysfunctional.
Before his dad became an abusive womanizer, the family was strong, and closer than ever. Though, towards the end of the marriage, Kolgrim's dad began to fill his head with negative thoughts about women. How they are jealous, lying, gold digging vultures and were only good for one thing. He would hear this and the fighting day in and day out. It carried on for years. Instead of knowing what to do, Kolgrim shutdown. His only sister ran away at the age of 16 and he hasn't seen her since. The divorce ruined him and the family he once knew. He started to shun everyone, even his girlfriend Star.
Star was so thoughtful and caring, and she stuck by him through everything. Yet, Kolgrim's thoughts were clouded, and he started treating her as his father would. He was smothered with life and had to protect himself by putting walls around his heart. Fed up with all of the hurt life was dealing him, Kolgrim had not a glimpse of happiness left inside.
He frequently ventured atop a large hill near his house and crawled inside an old bunker to clear his thoughts and be alone. This is where he was when he saw the flash of light and collapsed to the ground. When he awakened, the earth was in crumbles. Everything gone, everyone dead. He found his mom's burnt body beneath the rubble and buried it in a shallow grave with tears filling his eyes.
Losing everyone suddenly shattered the walls of despair around his heart and made him realize life itself is a gift that should always be cherished. He should have talked about his feelings instead of bottling everything up inside. He has said his goodbye's to everything he ever knew, but he still holds onto the hope that he will find a woman to grow old with, start a family, start a new life. It's tragic that now he knows the feeling of love at his loneliest moment in life.
To be continued...

Weather and Job permitting, I have been trying to watch the Beavers on the River Otter at least 2 or 3 times a week. A big commitment but one that is so rewarding, No two trips are the same. The social group/bonding between these animals is delightful. All the beavers do not always show every night and the times/duration they are out and about varies from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Here is a selection from tonight with the Adult Female and a Sub-Adult (born last year) on view. Also it is also great fun catching up with other people on the river.
This past weekend my wife and I took some engagement photos for two of her students. They wanted autumn color included, so we headed to the Gorge. The color was perfect, and we got a kick out of seeing that sparkle in their eyes that they had for each other.

These pink roses were in a bouquet that I bought for Mum. My water mister came out and I had some more fun with my macro ring.
