Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures;
none show more passionate tenderness to their
young when deprived of them; and, in short,
I am not ashamed to profess a deep
love for these quiet creatures.

Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump;
you may be freeing him from being a camel.
-Gilbert K. Chesterton
Rajasthan, India
Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, The Horse
Paraguay
Konigslutter, Germany
Until one has loved an animal,

All goats are mischievous thieves, gate-crashers,
and trespassers. Also they possess individual

which can only be matched by the dog.

I do not think the cat can be over-estimated.
He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism.
I do not wonder that many writers love cats;
I am only surprised that all do not.

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.

If animals had souls, you have captured them too. If the poet Rilke took pictures he might by chance have taken one that came close to a Mccurry.

Your pictures just make me smile! Beautiful!

Caro Sr Steve.
Olhando atentamente cada uma das fotos de seu novo post me faltaram palavras para descrever o sentimento que aflorou , entao, fui buscar nas palavras do grande mestre Cartier Bresson algo que ajuda-se a traduzir meu pensamento …
vejo o senhor como um ser Humano
“”Decidido a capturar a vida – e preservá-la no ato de viver.
Uma das coisas mais fascinantes nas suas fotos é a maneira como nos permitem traçar a semelhança entre os homens.
não sublimam nem o suave nem o grotesco, elas refletem a personalidade.como se fossem um pressentimento da maneira em que a própria vida se desenrola.”(H.C.B)
abraços do Brazil

What McCurry gets that others don’t is the emotion of the moment.
