They are so true, sometimes we really don't see because we are so busy looking, which winds up meaning 'looking past' what is there. Beautiful shot and wise words. Thank you.

Edwards Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:40:00 +0000 http://www.pixelatedimage.com/blog/?p=4147#comment-9280 I think there is more here to learn from this image. After providing primary medical care for a long time, I have found often the most important thing we have to offer others is our presence. From this grows trust, reassurance and a sense of relationship. This image reflects those qualities, otherwise it would have been unobtainable I suspect.Recently shooting images of wild mustangs in Northern Nevada I had a similar experience. These animals are extremely spooky. But the more you just sit and "be there" the more curious/trusting they become. We were fortunate and our patience paid off. And you didn't a 600mm zoom to make great images.Awesome image and post. Keep em' coming! I think there is more here to learn from this image.

Seems like you are often pointing out things we "know" but when I read it here, it is often more of an "oh yea!" than an "oh, yea." Thank you again! Well said.
