Such sweet pictures.

I know that you put these on here a long time ago and you have probably forgotten them since. These are actually my horses and the pictures were taken in Wimberley, Texas(not the bottom picture). My mother and I were leaving our house one day and saw the baby fawn with our horses and luckily I had my camera in my purse. It was a very sweet moment and my mare Ellie was so gentle with the fawn who hung around for at least an hour. It is a memory I will never forget. It is very common for the doe to leave her fawn alone while she is wandering around for food, we saw them together after this so we know she did not abandon the baby. My horse Ellie died about a year after these pictures were taken and it is wonderful to see that she is still living on the internet today. We sent these pictures to a few family friends and were surprised years later to find they spread online like wildfire. We are going through many of the websites and confirming that they are ours, just to set the record straight because alot of people are claiming they belong to them and are using them for advertising purposes. Feel free to keep them on your site, I just want to see people enjoy them. They were amazing horses with great souls and personalities. anne

this is me and ellie

Thank you Anne. In memory of Ellie, then, and her gentle nature. It is very fitting that you find the thread and complete it.

Thanks for giving us the backstory, Anne. Wimberley is a nice town, I went to a Shakespeare festival there once.

Anne, I add my thanks at the conclusion to the story, even though it is a sad one for you. What a wonderful tribute, going round and letting people know the backstory.
I too am glad that your gentle, maternal horse lives on, on people's screens.

It was a great IoTD (Image of the Day) and many, many people would have seen Ellie and her lovely nature. Sorry for your loss and much love to you and your family.
