Elenagt19 > Gossamer, making friends with the quarter horses. Mutual nibbling at the shoulder is a grooming/socialization behavior in horses who have decided they like each other. Standing a full hand taller (at 16.1) than any of his stablemates at Hidden Spring Farm, Goss is nevertheless ever the diplomat. This is due in part to his breeding but even more so we think to the excellent socialization training he received at Legacy Stables under trainer Leeandra Brode (now Wesley). He spent his first 4 years at Legacy in Churchville, MD (see www.legacystable.com)and now has returned for more training under saddle.

Elenagt19 > An eight pointer and an eight point wannabe pose for the camera in velvet. These Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) hang out with impunity just outside the window of my husband's lab at Edgewood Area, Aberdeen Proving Ground , Maryland.
Elenagt19 > Apples and Eggs
Elenagt19 > A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) gets caught by the paparrazi with his wings down around his ankles! Awwk! Aside from being undignified, that's gotta hurt! The moral is: Don't call yourself "Great" and then go out in public looking like this. In fact, this heron is drying the underside of his wings in the sun. Taken through a car window on Route 24 just north of Edgewood Area, a military post on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. I used a Nikon D100 with a 80-400mm VR Zoom lens.
Elenagt19 > The Mona Lisa has nothing on the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). Is that a smile , a smirk, a frown or what? Never underestimate the power of being enigmatic. These guys have maintained this facial expression for at least 65 million years!
Elenagt19 > Goss, the pensive three year old.
