Nature and animals are what inspire me most. Being among nature and around animals always makes me feel calm, happy and peaceful… literally makes me feel alive, the only time I really breathe deeply. I’ve always wondered what the world looks like through animals eyes so that’s why I’ve chosen these for this weeks photo challenge…
I couldn’t not include Mutley’s beautiful eyes… she looks dopey because she’s just been rudely awoken by my camera! Sorry Mutley! 🙂
This horse was in an enclosed field but I love to see them running free and wild!
Ah Swans… so beautiful and elegant
This little squirrels eyes were only interested in where the next nut was coming from!

The eyes tell it all. It is a beautiful world made more wonderful by the animals we share our lives with.

Yes it is indeed! Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comment 🙂

Yowee. Mutley is one sultry mutt…. Just get those eyes! I love the squirrel shot, too; you either have a fabulous zoom or you have tempted the squirrel close with Willy Wonka techniques. Hmmm.

Heh heh yes she does have sultry eyes doesn’t she! As for the squirrel, that was a combination of zoom lens and Willy Wonka treats! 😉

Thank you! Always wondered what animals make of us…! 🙂

One thing’s for sure…animals think humans are way too complicated 🙂
Jun 24, 2013 @ 08:07:16
Heh heh yes I reckon you’re right there… 😀

The world through their eyes! That’s a great concept to explore. What could you do to see things from the perspective of these creatures? As you see the surroundings through their eyes, as you step inside their skin, what do you see and what thoughts come to you?

Thanks for stopping by… so glad you enjoyed my post. I’ve always wanted to know what my Mutley dog is thinking and seeing when she’s running free in the woods… mostly she seems to be having fun! If you think about it most animals, certainly the ones above, apart from foraging for food… just seem to want to have fun and enjoy life… pretty cool way to live I say! 🙂

What a lovely take on the challenge – which was surprisingly hard I think. Took me ages to decide what to do. I like the idea of the eyes which are very beautiful. 🙂

Thank you! It was one that took a bit of thinking about… I love to photograph animals, birds, whatever wildlife I can! I’ve always wondered what their take on us is! I’m very happy that you like it 🙂
