Every good photograph needs a focal point. It is the thing that draws the viewer’s eye and tells the story.
This week, in a post created specifically for this challenge, show us ONE.
Every time I pass by the neighbor’s house, I wave at Rosa. Sometimes I even stop to roll down the window and say, “Hi” and chat a while.
Rosa is a horse.
She always looks me straight in the eyes and practically begs for company.
There she is – one lone horse watching the road, waiting. I can’t resist!
Most times I slow down and wave but sometimes I stop to chat and she listens very carefully. She always looks me right in the eyes. We have hardly met up close but there is this strange, unexplainable one to one connection between me and that horse. It’s as if we have known each other before.
People might say I’m daft to be stopping the car to talk to a horse.
But there’s this one to one thing going on that always makes me feel happier either coming or going.
I think she waits for me and the visit makes Rosa feel happier too.
We are alike in this way . . love them dearly. I can see that you do as well. Belle

It is touching to have a close relationship like that with anyone or anything. It is daft to not have that in your life.

What a wonderful story :). Rosa is lucky to have you as a friend! I talk to Bryan’s leopard gecko, and both my boys think I’m crazy, but when he pokes his little head out of his house when he hears my voice I know he likes that I talk to him :).

True Charlie and thanks for reminding me how desolate life would be without those connections.

Dor, this is so beautiful! If there is anyone who knows how to stop and smell the roses… (stop and talk to Rosa…) it’s you.

Yes Dora ! I have done the same thing many times. The farm opposite to where I once lived there was a lovely white horse so of course I nick named him Snowy. When I took my dog for a walk we stopped to chat to Snowy. When he heard us coming he bounded from the bottom of the field knowing I had usually a carrot in my pocket. So we are all crazy about animals you see.

Merry Christmas to you too Eunice! I know Rosa will love treats. We had a horse once who hated apples though! 🙂

She is new to the neighborhood and had a companion horse who didn’t take to the move and attacked her so viciously they had to give it away. So I think Rosa is lonely and happy to see me stop by. 🙂
