Cows and calves on lush summer pasture When I drive home from the gallery every day I drive right past Rogers cows. They always tempt me to stop and take their pictures. It is good that I have a digital camera now and can take as many pictures as I want. These cows show up in many of my paintings. …
Sticken Close To The Well
Herford Cows Sticken Close to the well In hot weather cattle graze early in the morning and later in the afternoon. During the heat of the day they are looking for water. The shade is a bonus.
