I do not need another dog...I do not need another dog...Remind me of that when I start to weaken, ok?
As we sat drinking coffee this morning, N. told me about a friend – David Cramer – in Placitas, New Mexico, who is a fabulous photographer of wild horses, among other things. We checked out his website, and his images are jaw-dropping good. You might find yourself gasping out loud when you look at them. Go to his main gallery page here, then click on "wild and free ranging horses." He also offers photography workshops to the BLM herd management areas where these wild horses roam. Guess who's going to be signing up.
his wild horse photos are amazing, thank you for sharing
ReplyDeletehis are great but I really enjoy your phtotography too.
ReplyDeleteYour little furry guests were too cute, my heart still broke for Smooch peeking in the window. It's like "What in the world!?!?!", although I remember you saying she is kept seperate from guest dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe wild horse photographs are truly beautiful, and how neat that you will signing up!
Thanks for the link, those were great. The horses fighting always scare me a bit. Cool music playing, too!
ReplyDeleteThose little white "fluffball" dogs are TOO cute. And I hear they are great for those w/allergies, as they have hair not fur, and don't shed much?
his pictures are amazing, thanks for sharing, the pooches are adorable also
ReplyDeleteI think you need another dog... hee hee. Thanks for sharing the horse photos.. breathtaking!

Smooch is looking a little left out there....
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to load the website. I'll have to give it a shot from work tomorrow. I do love wild horse photos. I'm also wildly envious of YOU. I'm sure I could find a way to take a workshop too, but I have to stay focused on my big D dream. It's feeling mighty overwhelming at the moment....
I can't wait to see the results of your workshop though. When do you go?
Smooch is definitely saying "No! to another dog, although if you had one more family member; she'd look after them. After the proper introduction, of course!
ReplyDeleteMy Grama's house is between Bernalillo and Placitas. That's home for me! :)
I love David's site. Thanks for sharing him with us; but no one can replace you and your bunch!
What a great workshop opportunity!!! He has beautiful photos, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGreat photography. But those little ones are just too adorable. Are you sure you do not need another dog...
ReplyDeleteOh those dogs are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose dogs are adorable. I really love his photography but yours is so amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing David Cramer's site -- I sort of thought when you were pining for another dog you'd opt for one of the funny looking herding dogs like mine! The Bichon look awfully ready to cuddle though.
ReplyDeleteDang, his site isn't up today...for me anyhow...ya'll must have broke it!!! I'll keep trying...
ReplyDeleteThose lil' faces are so cute...but poor Smooch...she's looking pretty concerned!
You may know already, but in case you don't... The great poet Mary Oliver has a bichon frises, Percy, whom she is trying to make famous. Any pet lover understands the intimacy described in Percy 3:
ReplyDeleteLittle Dog's Rhapsody in the Night
(Percy Three)
He puts his cheek against mine
and makes small, expressive sounds.
And when I'm awake, or awake enough
He turns upside down, his four paws
in the air
and his eyes dark and fervent.
Tell me you love me, he says.
Tell me again.
Could there be a sweeter arrangement?
Over and over
he gets to ask it.
I get to tell.
Mary Oliver
