There's an old saying that says; Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the Moments that take our breath away.
I know many may not agree with me on the subject but when you hear the circumstances you just might. I saw this wild boar feeding along the road near Merritt Island FL and as I pulled the car to the roadside to photograph it rather than it's running away he walked toward me showing no fear what so ever. In fact it got right next to my passengers side window so close that I had to back up to get the shot.
While composing the shot and centering on it's eyes I saw they held no fear but rather had the same soft if you will loving look that my aged Golden Retriever has when looking at me. That saying immediately held meaning to me.

Spinner :-D
