Black Beauty................

Black is beautiful. I can not associate it with evil. It has it's own dark mystery to be sure but no one can deny the beauty. The dark, the shadows, the night.........all is beautiful in its own right. Here are some beautiful horses, fairies and other things to enjoy the dark side of things. I think a black horse is almost a fantasy. The ebony black is rare, but some breeds just manage it so well. Every little girl who read the story of Black Beauty wanted a black horse. The story by Anna Sewell was the equivalent of what Charles Dickens did for children. It brought to light the cruelty of the days before cars when horses were worked to death in the mines and in the cities. No one can read the book and not see how wrong it all is and still is today. These animals have feelings and love as we do. Probably better than we do. They are loyal and loving companions and they will work to please as best they can. I like to see them as free spirits, although with a kind human in their lives they can have a longer and healthier life. I can not imagine that mane and tail in the wild. Fresians are known for them and I would imagine require a LOT of grooming. I not only like Black horses but also black cats, especially Panthers. In fact I adore black clothes and makeup. Smokey, sultry eyes....... Cher always looked so good in Black........... Somehow, black seems to me as pure as white. Just look at the cats eyes and how the black shows them off to perfection. Then there are the fairies............... So black as devoid of colour as white to me is just as pure. I can not stop, I just have to post a few more lovely things...........I love graveyards. I love the silence, the melancholy the angels Back to horses......I just adore the long manes and tails, did I already say that? This one is just so full of freedom, and beauty and high spirits. I could go on but will refrain at least in this post........enjoy the pictures that I have found on the web and gratefully use giving full credit to those who took the pictures and who I do not know.
