Thankful Thursday February 18, 2021


Many thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday!
And many thanks to Tanja Brandt for
her magnificent photos of two good friends.
We have a lot to learn from them.
Have a wonderful day!
 

For years, photographer Tanja Brandt has made it her mission to capture magnificent  photos of animals and wildlife. 
Recently, the German artist found a new challenge when she photographed the unique bond between two unlikely friends: Ingo, a Belgian shepherd, and Poldi (Napoleon), 
a one-year-old owlet.
 The owlet and canine have a special 
protector-protected relationship.
Their affection toward each other couldn't be any more evident.
 Ingo lovingly guards Poldi, who apparently doesn't know how to live free. 
The owlet hatched two days after his six brothers and sisters, therefore, has always been very vulnerable due to his small size. 
They respect each other and they can read each other, says the photographer.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
