Fresh Start

I would like to share a wonderful , and sad  moment with all. Last fall I ventured to my local zoo to photograph some beautiful fall scenes. I happened across a small inclosure that housed two wolves. These poor beautiful creatures looked so sad, and unhappy . I felt for them, and said to one of them that kept circling me: "I'm sorry that you aren't permitted to run free as you were ment to". My heart was soo heavy with sorrow for these marvelous animals. As one kept circling the cage, I asked the wolf if he would honor me with a photo of him, and that I would greatly appreciate the gift if he should decide to allow me to . He proceeded to make his usual trip up the hill , and he suddenly stopped, turned around, and came back down the hill. He then walked closer to me, and look straight at me,  at that precise moment, I felt kindred spirits with this marvelous creature. He then stood still, and allowed me to photograph him, as if it met with his approval. I felt so wonderful, and sad at the same time, because he was unable to run like the wind, and do the things that wild animals in nature, are allowed to do. I am inclosing some photos of these moments in time for you to enjoy, and ponder for the moment how wonderful these animals are. Enjoy as I did ;)
