Recently, I started volunteering with the Rescue 100 Horses Foundation. They’re a group that formed several years ago when a previously well-established Arabian breeding operation went under and left all its horses to starve. The original hundred horses have all been fed up to healthy weights and found homes, but unfortunately there are still cases of abuse and neglect and there’s still work for the foundation. My volunteer duties are (1) to socialize the horses, and teach them that when a human shows up in the pasture, it’s a good thing; and (2) photography.
There are currently three foals in care, who were born last spring to mares who came in pregnant. The rescue has brand-new baby pictures of them, but nothing current. The other day I went out to get some current pictures, and discovered that photographing baby horses is even more challenging than photographing puppies of the same age. They are curious. They are rambunctious. They want to nibble on you. Unlike puppies, they weigh several hundred pounds and have pointy hooves that they kick with when they are startled. I didn’t get very many quality shots.

Our high priestess Fiona issues her decree’s from the bean bag chair she just recently colonized.

In honour(?) of the Olympic Spirit(TM), my current crochet project is a pair of Salute to Putin gloves. I’ll be able to finish them when the rainbow yarn I ordered arrives.

And, below the fold, a Fiona photobomb because I know you want more Fiona.

The very depths of depravity have gripped DWR – shameless cat blogging.
The White Cat is hiding somewhere in the photo, can you spot her? Kitteh revealed under the fold.

“Arb, will you please for the love of catnip stop feeding!! Go back! Juke now!” – So sayeth the White Cat.
Fiona likes to cuddle – her human’s video game time is no exception.

White Cat approves of LoL!
It is hard to catch white cat sitting still. It is nearly impossible to catch her sitting still and being photogenic. Fiona and I seem to have beat the odds as I caught her resting on our table minutes before our Solstice Party began; she was inspecting the table cloth making sure it was up to her high standards.

Holiday Cat approves of this photo. :)
Vishnu and Fiona are still in the process of acclimatising to each other. It has gotten better, as catured in these pictures. :)

Trying to get a picture while keeping the kittehs in their sombre monorail arrangement proved tough to photograph.

Darn cats kept on moving, the nerve.

The look I get, often accompanied by a wet nose on my leg, reminding me to practice the social democratic values I espouse.

A pic from earlier in the year, with the high summer sun lighting our bedroom and most favorite dog, Shadow. :)
