Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures. ~Thomas de Quincey
i suppose i have always loved cows...i mean, really, most teenagers don't go into antique stores and purchase this ceramic cow's head for their mother, do they? {circa 1979}
or buy a spice based on its container?
or go to the lake and buy this antique cow print as a souvenir?
as i looked around my house, camera in hand, i noticed that i have acquired a small herd. i think i should be living on a farm.
which is why i love kristin over at faded prairie. she finally diagnosed me with the same sickness as hers...BOD {bovine obsessed disorder}
some women love roses, but me?
i'm smitten with cows

Wow!!! Cows!! Who knew??? I thought your passion was birds?! They are sweet, but I think quiet only in your pictures and ceramics. Real cows are quite loud ;) Happy Day friend.
lol-funny girl! seriously, the painting looks lovely! and i have that very mustard. yum. and-did you take that first shot?? did you notice it's eyes, so dark and wonderfully huge? :)
{but ps: i'm afraid there's going to be problems... none of your cows are facing the same direction ((they're scattered)) yikes!}
Hahaha, so funny. Cows do seem awfully sweet. I'm more of a dog/horse girl myself, though. Haven't had the opportunity to introduce myself to many cows, so who knows! :)
Oh I'll take a Swiss Brown over an American Beauty (rose) any day!!! :)
Loved the mustard tin!!
Alaska or bust, huh?? :)
Keep me posted!!
XOXO

Please know that I wish I had time to comment adequately.
You text and photo essays are superb....
I hope when things/events settle down at The Study that I will be able to do justice to the work of art you are creating on your site.
I neglect my own and your comment opportunity.
Thanks for your work.
I love cows, too! The brown and white spotted ones are my favorites...Too cute.
Thanks for your blog! Your writing is inspiring to me. (Pictures, too.) Keep it up.
Happy 4th!
