"Honor the sacred. Honor the Earth, our Mother. Honor the Elders. Honor all with whom we share the Earth:-Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones, Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people. Walk in balance and beauty."- Native American Elder

The two grand bucks in the top photo are perfectly camouflaged in the environment, vigilant, and in sync with each other. Balance and Beauty. We humans have much to learn from them. Thank You.

I considered the photos of the deer, the dolphins, and the horses running freely, and It came to me that they all have a 'Dignity Of Being'. Thank you for sharing this with me! XO

They are beautiful. I have many deer in my community. They come close to human habitat but they are quick to escape when non-deer get close. Thanks for sharing these pics.
