I love taking photos, but I especially love photos that show animals in their timeless ways and postures, doing things they have been doing for thousands of years, I love animals for the way they are they are so unique and different from us. When limbs fall off trees, Maria and I drag them into the pastures, the donkeys love to chew on them, it keeps them busy for days, and that is good.A busy donkey is a happy donkey, a bored donkey is all about mischief. Like border collies, they will find work.

When we went out for the morning chores, I saw Fannie chewing on the birch bark, finding her place in the universe on a wild and windy morning.
