It seems like every time we've traveled lately, I've made animal friends, particularly dogs, as most of the cats have seemed quite skittish. Here are a few of the cute domestic creatures captured (alliteration!).
 |
| Friendly Jakob in Portugal |
 |
| A kitty hungry for ham in Portugal (this one was definitely not skittish!) |
 |
| Walking with the farm dog in Ronda, Spain |
 |
| A well-mannered guide dog in Galicia |
 |
| Lia, a super-friendly ball of energy near Ourense, Spain |
 |
| adorable kittens peeping out in Galicia |
 |
| This adorably cute fellow followed us around a little village next to a monastery |
And, on the less-domesticated front, we love seeing larger animals, like these cows right from our hotel window. What an awesome view!

A word to the wise: don't drive too fast on small, curvy mountain
roads in the Picos de Europa. You never know who will be crossing the
street.
Or hanging out in a tunnel.
There's something so beautiful about a lone horse in a field on a cool summer evening.
I love these animal encounters on our travels!
