Fringe Photography is very proud to help out this effort. In fact, for many of our photos, we donate 10% of the price to the appropriate organization. For all of our mustangs, that means that 10% of our sales go straight to the Monero Mustang Sanctuary. For our owls and the kestrel, that means that 10% of our sales go to Wildlife Rescue, Inc of New Mexico. And 10% of the wolf sales go to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary. And this week we were very happy to write the checks to those organizations for the sales that happened in the 3rd quarter of this year. This contribution comes right from our pocket: in other words, prices aren’t higher. We just believe in helping out.

Thank you so much for supporting us and in turn helping support these organizations and the mission that they perform. It is through their efforts that we are able to take care of the wildlife that needs it, be that mending a broken wing, taking in a starving horse, or giving a permanent home to a wolf that desperately needs one. Each of these organizations needs all the help that they can get, be that in the form of volunteers, donations, outreach, or whatever else you can offer. And we hope that you join us in taking care of our wildlife.

We’ll continue offering wonderful and compelling photos of wildlife–we’ve got some wonderful new pieces in the works, in fact. And together we will continue to help those in need.

Thank you!

Afternoon Adventure

Ah, to be young again.

To walk amongst the fields without a care in the world. To wander away from your band, heading elsewhere, never once looking back over your shoulder to see if anyone might be following. To spend your afternoons in bliss, for up ahead of you is endless fields of grass and adventure.

This young mustangs are on their own afternoon adventure. Part of Hombre’s band in the Monero Mustang Sanctuary, they were born into relative freedom. Thanks to the efforts of the Sanctuary, their parents were rescued from various fates, none of which bode well for them. Coming together from all over the southwest, the mustangs have formed new bands, and with the forming of new bands comes the newborn. Sure, the Sanctuary has fence along the outer border, but it is a very large place, and as such the physical border doesn’t matter as much as it might. And within, freedom for all the mustangs is given. What an incredible gift that is.

Ah, to be young again, born into freedom. Onward into the afternoon!

Peek-A-Boo Mustang

Deep in the heart of the Monero Mustang Sanctuary there exists a small watering hole. It isn’t really a big watering hole, really, but it does include the most important bit: water. It also includes another important bit: a berm that partly shields the water hole from the surroundings. And where there is water, the wild mustangs will come. But these are wild mustangs. Although familiar with humans, they are not accustomed to the human hand and certainly not in the mood to be domesticated. So, they maintain a good deal of caution around us (rightly so, too, since many of the mustangs in the sanctuary have been rescued from human abuse) and sometimes are not in the mood to be seen.

This is La Vieja, a mare caught peeking over the berm next to the water hole, just to see what, or who, was out there. The “who” of course was myself, camera in hand, capturing the moment. We looked at each other for a brief moment, acknowledging each other. That moment was brief and La Vieja turned away from the berm for that much needed and ever so pleasant drink.

Postscript: Just a couple of days after this photo was taken La Vieja became a mother to a wonderful filly. You can bet that both of them are now at the water hole, playing peek-a-boo.
