Animal beauty and tenderness!25 Mar '07 8:49 am
I just deleted my enchanting kittens of my previouss post, seeing with disappointment , that they did not inspire you like me...I had felt a similar disappointment in the past, when none of you had shared for a certain period my excitement about my butterfly visitors/photos... But , as I had then stressed, people do NOT always feel the same way about things...
Today I will post some more delightful (according only to me??) animal photos! They are taken by loving people , who do not mind sharing their photos like myself, and most of them have dedicated part of their everyday lives to rescue and protect animals, like Judith...

I haven't been here as often as I'd like, also when it involves going to a site that may harbour viruses or 'hijackers' I have to be wary.
I know that no one would willingly place a link to any such stuff, but I have on other boards and in my own innocent searches had this problem, then hubby has to 'strip everything and reinstall everything' and to say he's not happy would be an understatement.
So therefore I wait until several people have accessed a site and then and only then when I hear no reports of problems will I go there.
My apologies if this has offended anyone, this has never been my intent, but I have a hubby to keep happy.
When photos are placed here to see, and I know that so far touch wood, fingers crossed etc, etc.. there are no problems, I enjoy them and will happily say so.
In this case they are all darling photos, but the foal is my favourite.

Today it is a sunny day , again after a week's whole delay of rainy and cold weather!! So, out we'll be with my Nicholas to clean away these horrible, thorny Roses stems (prunings), that are everywhere on the lawn...
Yes, Faith, I feel the same way with you!! They are so divine these lovely creatures!
Anna, you are one of the most discrete and fine persons I know! And you are sensitive and tender, like all of us in our gardening site! You remind me a little of my little Bambi in the past , her reaction about the butterflies! People have different things in mind , when being confronted by various situations.. It has to do with the way we are grown up (we did NOT chose it! ), our culture, our character/personality, and the specific details of the situation we are confronted by... I could NEVER think of what you wrote!
On the other hand --- Oh, you all know me so well -- I am open like a book, I love you, and I feel like expressing to you everything, being either positive or negative, because I feel -- precisely --- very close to you here, after so many--many months of sharing our minds and souls...
Yes!! From my own corner of mind and view, I just could NOT understand WHY those adorable kittens did not touch you as usually!! So I deleted them ! And now this is OVER! It is past, already!
Anna !! This baby-horse emanates the tenderest of (motherly)feelings, I know!!

Liza, my tender friend. What a wonderful person you are. So tender and conscientious. It's my observation that sensitive people, myself included, leave themselves open to hurt and disappointment due to our desire to share. I have just been through this on my roller coaster forum. I have been as friendly as I could be, offering ideas and help to anyone who might be interested. But they are not. They fear me for some reason. Like I'm an egg head no one wants to associate with. They all seem to get along with each other all right, but I get ignored. They still vote my coasters the best, although, begrudgingly. I just won another round. I'm sort of bent out of shape over this and I feel like quitting the competition. I feel I am casting pearls before swine. Although I suppose it's not the swines fault for being a swine, they just don't know any better. They too, are products of their environment.
I don't like to see you so sad as to have to close a post out of hurt. Remember that a nightingale's song isn't heard every time she sings it, but she still sings it all the same.
Sometimes a fisherman's nets are empty and sometimes they are full of fish.
I love those pussycats you posted and can't wait to share them with Deb.
Keep happy, my friend. Let all the other stuff just fall away.
Christopher

Very sensible, I do the same. What you describe is a perfectly normal computer security. No reflection on our past lives and upbringing at all.

Missed your humaneness , dear Christopher!26 Mar '07 7:08 am
Chris ,my gentle Chris! I do love so much our fellow human beings, just like you do! The problem is , that is normal , sometimes not to have a complete mental or spiritual access into their own personal world of... "secret garden"...This results to feel a sort of ...extra terrestial or something ... Sometimes it hurts, sometimes not...It hurts more when it happens among people you think they know you, like family and friends...I think , that people like you and me live more up into the ...pink clouds, rather than down onto the earthly reality...I have married a person of ...the earthly reality world, and although he tries his best,to ...place me onto the ground, many years now, he has no success... Maybe, that is why I communicate better with children, animals , and plants...
And , dear Jay Bee, are you sure you posted a reply about ....animal tenderness and beauty??? "Past lives"?? " Computer Security"?? I cannot reach you at all!...

Sometimes when you look upon and ponder on something which touches something deep inside ,you can't think of any words to express ,so you reflect in silence .
It is the same with beautiful music -you can talk about the technicalities like superb harmony and instrumental skill ,but how it affects you is too profound for words.
Christopher -I have not been able to play your video because of my computer limitations -my family are nagging me to get broadband .It is so intriguing though to read everyone's comments here this morning . I, too ,cannot understand the uncaring world .
Dixie.

I totally agree with you Dixie, when I see little creatures like this, or a stunning flower, I am sometimes so touched that language, although I love it in itself so much, is lacking. But I shall try.
Liza, I just adore these pictures! I have seen the one with the two kittens in the field before and it never fails to make me smile, the way the one has his little 'arm' around the other is too adorable for words! I also particularly loved the one with the tabby rubbing his face on the black and white cat - such a display of tender affection is simply heartstopping; also your last picture of the golden tabby smelling the flower made me smile, because my two don't seem to like 'nice' smells - if I've put on a nice-smelling hand cream they give me one sniff and wander off, even if they've been in a friendly mood before! But perhaps it's the artificial ingredients that we can't detect but they do which puts them off. The little foal is precious too, so gangly and cute, but you can still see it becoming an elegant, spectacular horse in a few years.
Dear Christopher, I was so sad to read about the other people in the competition who didn't want to be your friends. It is so strange that people sometimes act like that for no discernible reason, but it may be just one or two people who are really the bad ones and the rest just follow their lead because they feel they have to. If you persevere with this, I do believe that someone will discover the wonderful person we here at Moosey's all know and their lives will be enriched for it; you don't need to give a thought to the rest. Oh, I loved your analogy of the nightingale too - so beautiful and poignant.

What fantastic shots of animal tenderness and beauty, dear Liza! Love them all though more specially pics (1) & (7) portraying such loving tenderness and care, as well as pic (3) with sitting posture so human like one of us, that brought a smile to my face as I likened to my hubby so frequently calling our pet dog, Maxi "Come here, Son!" or me saying, "Hungry, darling boy?" Thanks for sharing!
Christopher, what kind and wise words for all of us to ponder too! Thanks!
