I shot this thru my living room window and he was a long ways off.
I love looking out the window and seeing this guy relaxing and just being in the moment
in keeping with the low light theme I've been posting lately. Not really on purpose. Just archive diving.
This was taken last January very late in the day. Cav still had his winter coat and he still had his left eye

Many of you have brought up Cav, so I decided to post a quick pic I just took of him. Even though he is missing his left eye, he is still the sweet, perfect handsome Cav as he has ever been. Imperfections have stories, to me, they are better than things that are perfect.
Another shot in first comment box below. Pete is sooooo happy Cav is back. Cav is still somewhat aloof towards Pete, he always has been but they still are good buds and seem very content in each other's presence.
I'll catch up with you all later. Gotta get out and do stuff
. . . how 'bout you scratch my butt a while?
Oh Cav. He does love a good butt scratch, LOL
He's wearing his muddy winter coat now. Nothing but rain and mud here, ugh!
When I shooting the dandelion bending down closely to the lawn, I looked up to see this handsome dog stop to look at me. Ah, my best chance to shoot this perfect portrait of him.
Please refer to the photo below in the commennt.

is what horses are to many.
Handsome Cavalier.
For this photo, Cav was standing out in front of my barn and the barn was in deep shadow but Cav was out far enough away from the barn to catch some light giving him some nice rim light along with capturing some breath vapor. One of my favorite kinds of photos of him.
I was out walking around my property with my camera photographing my Canada goose papa who is protecting his territory from other geese when Cav was down having a good roll.
So I started photographing him and when he was done with his roll, he popped up acting all frisky and feisty. Spring is in the air. Even though Cav is a gelding, he still feels frisky sometimes.

"It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love."
Voltaire
"As brilliant as it is terse, what Voltaire’s quote reveals is his awareness of how narcissists’ self-delusions of superiority prevent them from seeing themselves as they are. As already indicated, they’re blinded by their idealized image of self, which they’ve fabricated to hide from themselves (and others) innermost doubts about their worthiness. And so they’re driven to portray themselves not simply as good enough but far beyond good enough: gifted, exceptional, unique."
How many of us have known narcissists in our lives? Probably all of us but sometimes we might not have known that's what they are. We humans need our eyes wide open in order to really see.
But the thing I love about my horses, they see things so differently through a lens in ways we humans are not capable of.
They are honest, observant, kind, forgiving, willing, and completely untouched by how beautiful and special they are. They don't brag or judge, condemn or feel contempt. They just are. They are very sentient beings who will give you what you ask for if you ask them in the right way.
Cav, with just his one eye, probably sees more than most people do with two. I love his soul and his quirky personality, because he really does have both, LOL! But that's part of what I love so much about him.
And if you've read all the way to the end here, well, then you are a special friend
Himachal Pradesh (Inde) - Le cheval reste, aujourd’hui encore, le meilleur moyen de circuler dans les contreforts de l'Himalaya indien pour accéder aux hameaux perdus en altitude, situés de part et d’autre la la route Leh-Manali.
Certains cavaliers, anciens nomades sédentarisés, qui ravitaillent ces villages excentrés, se sont partiellement reconvertis dans le tourisme et proposent de rejoindre Leh à cheval, plutôt que d'emprunter le bus ou louer un 4 x 4 avec chauffeur.
Ce cavalier au sourire de vendeur de voitures d’occasion, qui serait capable de vous vendre une poignée de graviers au prix de l’or, a été photographié au col de Rhotang en 1995. Déjà à l'époque il proposait d'organiser des expéditions équestres pour les rares touristes qui passaient par là.
Himalayan rider
Himachal Pradesh (India) - The horse remains, even today, the best means of circulating in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas to reach the hamlets lost in altitude, located on both sides of the Leh-Manali road.
Some riders, former sedentary nomads, who supply these outlying villages, have partially converted to tourism and offer to join Leh on horseback, rather than taking the bus or renting a 4 x 4 with driver.
This rider with the smile of a used car salesman, who would be able to sell you a handful of gravel at the price of gold, was photographed at the Rhotang pass in 1995. Already at the time he proposed to organize equestrian expeditions for the rare tourists who passed by.

(Cavaliers en Automne)
My photographic license at work here, with my interpretation of a rare artistic print called "Cavaliers en Automne" or "Riders in Autumn" by Jean-Pierre Cassigneul 1989.
A local resident dressed as a Cavalier for the Imperial City Festival in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany.
Thousands of local residents dress up in the garb of medievil times and the history of the town is brought to life. A fantastic festival that we were lucky enough to be a part of!
