This is a typical scene in rural Spotsylvania County, Virginia...contented cows, rolling pasture, curving roads, and a sense of "All's Well Today". Taken somewhat before sunset, because I liked the shadows and the highlights on the fence posts. (Besides, the cows might move out of that handy corner if I waited for the sun to drop lower). Thanks for coming to take a look.

You forgot to mention all the methane, Sharon. 8P Juuuuust foolin.' It is a very peaceful bucolic scene. Here in the Dakotas, cattle will cluster in pasture corners for two reasons; sleep or shelter from an approaching storm. I'm guessing that's a universal thing with cows (I grew up working on a ranch). This pasture must be used for livestock other than just cows, though. Goats, sheep and lambs can sometimes slip through 3- or even 4- strand barbed wire fences. Looking close here I see a woven wire fence in the bottom 3/4. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

My objective here and now is to win over this cowboy who made such a lengthy comment LOL Nik I mean, our dear Nik LOL
But on second thoughts I give up...
Cows are good, light is perfect, road is sweetly curving somewhere near the horizon and I love the slope where cows are grazing. HOWGH.
Hugs, dear Sharon.
