photo taken March 2009 • title thanks to Tina
Incredible entries from all of you - this morning was hard having to choose just one. I recommend opening one browser window for Charlie’s picture and a second browser window next to it for the comments so you can scroll through them, side by side with the image. Thus, instead of a “short list” as I sometimes do, I’m just going to copy the words of Chief Seattle that Britney left in the comment section:
“If all the beasts were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth.”
- Chief Seattle
As for the title, Tina, I think you sum it up ~ thanks for the perfectly articulate pun. And thanks to all who share what they see.
• • • I’m not even going to type a preface for fear of saying something -
I want to hear what you have to say for this shot, and see what you see in it.
So without ado ~ leave your title, caption, and/or commentary for this photograph in the comment section of this post (simply click on “xx Comments” directly under the post title to leave your entry) and you will be in the running for this week’s prize: an 8 x 10 signed print of THIS image (the eye is the focal point in this shot too, if you can spot it….) Happy Monday!

July 6th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I couldn’t take my eyes off of this photo! How about:
Love, Haunted or Haunting Love (don’t mean to sound ghoulish, but “haunting” was the word that first came to mind when I saw the photo…)
OR: My soul for love… My soul, my love OR: Wild, amber eyes… OR: “You had me at ‘Hello’” Ha.
I got up at 4:oo am and finished reading your book. The story of your relationship with Charlie moved me more than anything else has for a long, long time (I’m struggling with another bout of severe major depression) and I thank you for it..
I admire and respect everything you’ve done with Charlie. Only once in a great long while does a human get the magical opportunity to interact intimately with one of God’s wild creatures. It is a gift and should be nurtured and appreciated. Those that criticize you have probably never had such an experience. Ignore them. I’ll be 50 this year and in half a century (I CANNOT be that old, can I…) I’ve learned that there really are a lot of ignorant people in this world. You really just have to pity them!
Love,
Lisa
P.S. Charlie looks like he was created out of the very things in his world…the red mountains, the gray skies, the black winter trees, and the golden sun. I never knew a coyote could be such a beautiful thing.
July 6th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
“Say What?”
…but then I took a second look, and wondered if Charlie was actually caught trying to ham it up with the appealing big sad puppy eyes ’cause he really really wanted something…and his ears aren’t back, so he’s not apologizing for it. Almost like Oliver Twist: “More, please?”

organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal’d by the same means, warm’d and cool’d by the same winter
and summer, as a human is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, do we not cry? If we are like you in the
rest, we will resemble you in that.”

I was struck by the almost perfect symmetry of Charlie’s face. The eyes were first noticeable, with the dark black dot within each pupil, but then the patterns and colors of the fur are almost identical on each side of his face. Spectacular.

You bring me yummies.
When I need to howl at the moon,
You be my pillow.
When I need to scare the pants off Eli the cat,
You giggle when I have succeeded.
After all, I am the master. I am king of all I see.
You are mine.

I don’t know what to put here Shreve. Having worked so long with wolves, this is a gaze with which I am very familiar, and its one that always leaves me speechless. There are no words to describe the gaze of a truly wild thing when it fixes itself upon you. You just have to be fortunate and strong enough to look back.
This is my favorite of your pictures. Thank you for sharing. It’s too long for a caption, but I was remined of the following words from Chief Seattle:
“If all the beasts were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth.”

“And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view. ”

…because we only think we know.
i don’t know the context in which the picture was taken, but I feel like whatever he was communicating to you is just one of the seemingly infinite number of things he is so articulate at conveying without ever needing words. every picture you take captures a completely unique moment or expression (which is definitely due in large part to a gift of perceptive photography), and i think it reflects the fact that even in an animal that has been “tamed” there is a wild and beautiful spirit that is part of what intriuges us so. everyone sees something different in the eyes of an animal, and i think that is because there is so much there to see in a deepness that humans will never truly understand. we are so lucky when they trust us enough to let us see a little part of their soul

In case no one got my pun… I wrote “Sunrise” - meant to make you think of Sunreyes… but I didn’t think it was necessary to spell the word wrong to convey the pun. Ah well.

We completely forgot to check the contest this week! I think that the winning caption is perfect. Those eyes are amazing - one could really get lost in them. Thank you, again, for sharing Charlie with us.

This is something of the same understanding, mindful look that I recieve daily from my Juneau, an american Indian dingo. There seems no greater mentor than that which eminates from the zen mind of a canine.

I waited awhile before I decided to leave you a comment… I spent my first vacation in Wyoming in May… I have to read to sleep, went into the local Walmart in Cody and found your book, the perfect read while travellining 27 hrs in a car home. You are living my dream. Planning on spending next summer in your beautiful state. Charlie has been a very special part of my day since I got home to Alabama. Thank you for helping me to deal with my issues with nature and the death of animals, didn’t think I would be able to finish your book when I first read about Charlie’s parents. You’ve helped me to begin to see nature for what it really is, rebirth. Thank you.
