• amazing how close the color of the weeds is to the color of the coat.

• Excellent choice of focus - typically we'd be looking at the deer, not the grass. You always manage to bring a different perspective on the every day .

• I like the way you are playing with the unexpected - the human brain since the stone age is conditioned to spot enemy forms, and every larger animal could count as such. But with the focus on the grass you hold the viewer's eye in the image. Clever!

• is that a horse? maybe his owner has no religion, or morals of any sort, very interesting shot!

• Such a soft and lovely monochromatic image. Love your chosen point-of-focus.

• I too like to take images of dried flowers and leaves against the cold winter feel.

• I didn't realize horses had natural camouflage. Maybe we're seeing some evolution here.

• He blends so well... It took a few seconds to actually realize what I was looking at. On the first quick glance I thought it was just a tree.

and a pasture full of weeds


Personally, I would not give a fig for any man's religion whose horse, cat and dog do not feel its benefits. Life in any form is our perpetual responsibility.
