Sunday Stills- The Eye

When Ed gave us this challenge, he said the eyes are the window to the soul. These two photos of Beamer's eye sure do show his gentle nature.






He is the sweetest horse ever, and absolutely sure that he is the handsomest stallion in existence!(Of course, that could be because I keep telling him so!)


Then there is my Reba with her gorgeous blue eyes; she didn't want to pose for me; too busy keeping track of the horses!
This scary creature is a bull that is related to the cow that caused my black eye; his eye really does show his cantankerous nature.

This is Sparkle showing off her inquisitive nature.


But this one is my most favourite of all; from my archives- the soft eye of Beamer.


This colourful one is for all those who have been asking about my black eye- it sure spread out, and it looks worse than it feels- the cut is the only part that hurts.

Loved them ALL, Beamer is such a beauty too. Glad to hear you aren't in much pain.

Tracey said...

What a beautiful shiner you've got there! And that last one of Beamer is a shot to be proud of. Very nice, indeed.

That bull does have a mean look to his eye doesn't he? The horses on the other hand...ah so sweet!

Lori Skoog said...

Great shots. Red Horse also did horse's eyes. How the heck did you get such a shiner? Your horses are beautiful!

Kelly said...

Now that is an impressive shiner! Great photos!

WhimsybyMari said...

Oh sweetie that must have hurt! Love the other eyes too except maybe the bull he looks evil.

Yikes! That's a great photo of a terrible looking black eye! Living on a farm I am always injuring myself, so can I commiserate. Right now I have a rib dislocation.

That is a nice photo of Beamer's eye, my fav too!

YOWCH! If Ed was giving away awards for best SS blog posts, you'rs would win hands-down!
That eye looks painful. I thought my arm bruise, from my horse ramming a pipe rail into it was bad. Yours is 100 times worse.
I hope it feels better soon, my friend!

The photo of Sparkle is my favorite non-painful eye photo. lol!

Ugh - your eye... I thought my swollen bee sting eye was bad.

Nice shots...other than that one ;-).

Sherri said...

Ed said...

Great shots of Beamer, glad the shiner is'nt too uncomfortable, you Canadians are a hardy lot..:-)

Great photos! Ouch, that black eye hurts. I can totally relate as I took the base of the steel hoof stand to the face a couple of years ago and had 2 black eyes. I was just happy that it didn't break my nose.

Jen Mo said...

Ouch! That looks like it hurts! Great shot by the way!

Mikey said...

I've been wondering how your eye looked :) You look tough!!! Wear it proudly girl!!
