First Glance!

“How fleet the glance of mind!

Compared with the speed of its flight

The tempest itself lags behind,

And swift-winged arrows of light.”

                 William Cowper

Cute eh?

(Next  photos  may be shocking to some viewers.)

 It was a beautiful, warm, and sunny day. I was out doing my daily count of cows and calves. I came across the above little fellow and a few of his friends.

 After a little counting and looking I went on my merry way. I continued on my usual route. The cows are scattered more now, looking for the green sprouts of grass. This makes it harder to find them, and keep track of the numbers in my head. I round the corner to the pipeline and, this is the scene I came upon.............

Would this scare you?

At first glance, I was so frightened, till I realized they were very warm, and comfortable. They were stretched out and absorbing  the sun. My presence did not seem to alert them to any danger.

Looks like a recreated  battlefield.

 I am so glad they were comfortable and happy, but after the winter we had with the coyotes and all, they gave me quite a fright.

I am wondering if we look like this when we are sleeping

Arnold waiting for Duke to awake.

                                                       

The next day it was wet. They liked this island, I guess.


Happy, contented cows and calves; this is what we strive for, and seem to have accomplished. 

 Later.
