Equine Energy

leave a comment »

I am not as attuned to the messages offered as Cyndie is, so I don’t know what he was conveying when this picture was captured, but I think the image depicts the exciting energy available in a visit with horses.

There is no question about the mutual benefits available in horse-human relationships. I’m one-person removed from the actual activity, and I experience great energy when I accompany Cyndie on her visits to the horses. Here are a couple of shots I took while Cyndie spent a few minutes pulling burrs out of the mane of this appreciative fellow.

After a while, he demonstrated an urge to do some grooming of his own, and reached out to return the favor.

For the image below, I took advantage of the sun in my face to capture this friendly feline in silhouette, perched on the top rail of the fence. My first try, in the sunlight, ended up a bit too blurry, but then I got just the shot I was after…

It’s Real!

We have it! Photographic proof that Santa’s Elves really do exist. When the digital images were uploaded to the computer for review on the full-size monitor, we discovered the miraculous capture that had been achieved. Unlike those shots of Bigfoot, which are extremely suspect and never seem to receive universal verification, I can personally vouch for the authenticity of this shot. I was there. It was very near the moment on Christmas morning when the freshly baked homemade caramel rolls (with nuts and raisins) had been set out on the counter to kick off the annual Christmas breakfast feast. Right there in plain view, as the camera was pointed to capture the beauty and splendor of the foods before us, a vision materialized for just that split second the shutter opened. The jolly elf appeared to be dashing off from one task to another, probably only visible to the camera for the moment stopped in time by that picture. The question remains unanswered as to whether the elf was involved in the delivery of the caramel rolls, or was simply slowing down to the speed which became visible to the camera in order to snatch a little taste of one of the sweet treats for itself. The image is a little grainy, but don’t let that distract you from the incredible evidence that is finally revealed. We have it! An authentic picture of one of Santa’s amazing elves:

A View

For some reason, as daylight filtered through the shade, it was the view I saw inside the room that caught my eye, rather than the scene out the window.

Winter Art

An image from the archives taken during a walk of the property in Wisconsin, 2009. I captured some old snow resting artfully on the needles of a young pine.
