Summer pastoral

With the long summer dryness upon us after an extended rainy season, the bare hills are more colorful than their usual ruddy brown. The muted, earthy colors in this scene are pretty typical of what I’m seeing on all the local hillsides right now. The cows, as usual, seem content.

Bovine bliss

Since it’s the weekend, I’m pulling out some shots I took earlier this month. While commuting home I took a back road near my house and ran across a comely herd of cows. They were very cooperative and agreed to sign waivers for me to have all rights to their likenesses in my photos. The bovine is trés cool!
