Dec. 27, 2014 – PETS WITH OUT THE COST OF OWNERSHIP – Sure hope you all had a great Christmas. “I was a thinkin” Pets are expensive to have and you have to center your life around them – when you are owned by an animal. Whether the animal is a pet, a ranch animal , or farm dog. I know, I’ve experienced them all. So, I say to you, “If you do not want to be owned by an animal you can still have them in your life – just go out each day and hunt them – watch them – marvel at their grace and beauty – laugh at them – photograph them – enjoy the natural landscape around them – Believe me, it makes your day better if you studied at least one animal each day – Here are just a few of my photos of animals – Many of these animals you could find in your own neighborhood and local parks – Assuming the Mayor does not cast the horses out of Central Park.
A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch and outpace. I think that is Perla after Asdis – or the other way around – Icelandics love the snow! Wonder why?Did not have to hunt very far – I always can find one outside my window (In the North or the South) but gee-wiz this guy was fun to watch. You can see he has dinner waiting in his web. Hey, did you ever wonder how they build a web across a walkway! – Usually the walkway I take in the morning. Look it up on the web (no pun intended).Found this “V” formation off my dock this fall – jumped into my canoe – followed them half way around the Bay – I wanted to see who stayed in the lead position – I think the females tell the males what to do? I understand that, maybe I am a duck?Some day visit a horse farm (Folks often stop along the road to watch and photograph these guys on Drummond Island) or go to Central Park . – This quote is the title of Alice Walkers’s collected poems, “Horses make a landscape look more beautiful”. If you go to the Park – talk to the carriage drivers and their horses – they (the drivers) love their horses – I have always found that they will tell you about their family’s generations of carriage horses in NYC!Not sure what you might study up north – maybe a cricket – anyway, this guy was fun to study as I sat down on my rocking chair in Florida, with my laptop, to create a blog for you!Most wild animals, that I run into, to will stand and stare – as if to ask me “What are you doing?” This “Wild” calf was found near a hiking trail in the St John’s River Conservation Area near Titusville Florida just last month.“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” says my Drummond Island “Bucky”
Maybe you have a mouse in the garage, or the woodshed – Hey, what is a “WOODSHED?” Look it up on the web! Anyway – go out with camera to hunt a mouse!
