In Shadows

How's your eyesight?
Lost within these early morning shadows is this group of cattle. I had other images that showed the cows more distinctly, but I kind of like the red barns at the top of the rise. When I head into the city via Stroudwater, it's a collections of buildings and animals I pass. There's an old abandon, rambling farmhouse to the left huddled in the trees that must have some stories within. As long as I can recall, the cows have been here. Pretty much on their own. There used to be a posted sign, on the long, gravel driveway right next to one that read KEEP OUT! The second one read: "These cows are well cared for. Please stay away." This morning I just liked how the sun was playing on these two red barns on the hill. A simple pleasure.
Coming soon.
Baby calves parading all over the warm grass.
It's quite a site to behold.
Moo!

  1. I'm a sucker for red barns. Wonder why someone would post the second sign! Do people regularly jump the fence to pester the cows?

  2. It is hard to believe that the lush green area was all white a few months ago. Enjoy it now!!

  3. Must have been people passing by who wanted to feed the cows. :-)

  12. The cows white faces give them away. Humans have a positive relationship with cattle. Beside, cattle provide lots of our food like milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and beef. Some people even worship cattle.
