    Close–to be so close (in the photographs) – only a vision of what it is like to really be so close to them. It touches my heart.

    every thing about these pictures moves me. i want to scratch them behind their ears–smell that beautiful grass–smell their breath–and look closer at snake stick in the corridor.

    The goats look so clean and healthy. I would love to touch their felty ears.

    it’s interesting, Tina….it IS alone in ways, but in other ways it is not at all alone. and it is never really “lonely” at all.

    and this is the thing. How this is….
    How i used to explain to my kids about how there must be some
    kind of GodThing, some Great Intelligence that invented Beauty
    and was Curious about all the different ways Things could be
    I still think that

    they are. they are so amazingly CLEAN. Like CLEAN….shining and
    spotless…especially Nogal, the young buck, his fur Shines like
    Diamonds…glistens in the morning SUN
    they like having their ears felt, will stand so still, gazing off with those eyes all dreamy

    I think it was Moss Hart from one of those Broadway plays we did when I was in high school..said “If Wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” – No, it was George Kaufman (I googled it-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beggar_on_Horseback)
    The point being, I would be there sitting on that porch with you, smelling hay and goat and dog, and more from the bushes depending on the season, then staring out over the vast to the ridge, then up into the firmament. Oh, what a time we might have if wishes were horses. I’ll sleep tonight thinking ‘maybe some day’……
