Talking To Animals: Maria and Liam

by Jon Katz

There are all kinds of ways to talk to animals, and Maria has instinctively known many of them. I often look up at the farm and see conversations taking place. It’s hard to look at this photograph and not believe some communicating is going on between Maria and Liam, a wether (neutered ram).

I wouldn’t presume to know what they are saying, but I have seen Maria and the donkeys talk for  years now, you can almost touch the emotion passing between them. Maria is scratching Susie’s back and talking to Liam over her shoulder.

  1. I have it on good authority that you may be able to see the Northern Lights tonight and/or tomorrow if it is clear.

  2. You have captured a very special moment. Maria’s gentle smile and almost appears that Liam is smiling back.
    I have seen photos similar with a person and a dog—but never with a sheep. Communication is most definitely
    happening.

  3. Absolutely a beautiful picture that says so much. Love the new hat and the radiance it brings to the picture. Liam is so close and comfortable with Maria. Maria’s calm and gentle hands……
