Mammals
We, humans, rank highest in the rank of mammals.
We are also the cruelest mammal.
Think of war, sharing, helping each other and more.

According to the writer Rutger Bregman, this started after we exchanged the nomadic existence for a permanent place to live. Wanting to retain power is also a reason for our behavior.

Sheep

Sheep

For me, the freedom in an open field also applies to sheep. Those are the photos I post. Sometimes also with a shepherd and dog. They belong together.         On the Ginkelse heide I met the sheperd and his companion with his flock.   There are also different types in sheep. 27-3-2022 Ofcourse. In spring, lot of little sheep: so endearing. I also was happy to see the sheep still have there horns.

Cats

A cat symbolise patience, but also  elegance, curiosity, independence, protection, and magic. It hides itself on a place where it can look into the world.

Deer and congeners

Deer and congeners

A deer is my guiding spirit in the Underworld (Sjamanisme). I gave her the name Leila. A few days later I found on the place where I saw her in my journey a little Angel amulet with the letter "L". It's so sad we mostly see deers in captivity like the one above. Still I was lucky on a few days in 2019, because of my early morningwalks. The first was a moving on my right side on 23th july...
