Country Beauties by digitalrn

Country Beauties

I worked till noon today, and on my way home I decided to drive a little out of my way through our local wildlife preserve. After leaving the preserve I traveled through some back mountain roads to enjoy the open country. To my surprise I came upon this little pasture, nestled amidst some mountain shrub and trees. These three beauties were grazing together enjoying their day. As I pulled over to get their photo, the one was kind enough to look at me. I just sat there and admired their setting. To me it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. I took the shot in B/W, and I was pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy. One more week, next Sunday, my Wife and I, our Son, and the two puppy kids are going to head out to Ohio to see my Wife's Mother for a few days. Then on Thursday we head back to Western Pa so we can visit our Daughter. It's been two and a half years since we've seen her, so as you can imagine, we are more than eager to see her and give her some hugs and kisses. If everything goes as planned, she should be coming home to us around April or May. Can't wait. Hope you all have a wonderful night and a great Monday.
I love this scene, perfectly composed and B&W an excellent choice!
