Cow Dreams
I’ve been looking through older photos and found this one of some dairy cows looking me as I took their picture out the car window. It was always so wonderful seeing these beautiful cows every time we rode by. Unfortunately, this area is now a golf course! After adding a layer of one of my textures of clouds, I liked the feeling that the cows were dreaming of greener pastures.
Taken near Penrose, North Carolina, 2006.
