I'm befuddled... and confused!<br /><br />Truly it IS beautiful scenery. I was just commenting to Gattina that it is wonderful to FIND open spaces like that anymore. Even out here in the country where I live, more and more and more buildings take over! It's hard to find a good open stretch of land! Though I now knOw that there IS such land in our country - because I passed miles and miles of it driving through Indiana and Ohio!<br /><br />That is a GOOD cow!

Take a look at picture number nine. There are electricity poles with holes in them on the left of the picture. Pole number two, that's where it happened. If you look close, you'll see the reed ( on the left of the picture) between the white flowers and the pasture where the cows are. That's where the ditch was, you can't see the water because of the high grass and the reed. <br />@ Bill: thanks<br />@ Tara: I'm sorry about that camera too!<br />@ Secret Mom thoughts: I love how they still can be cows.<br />@ worldtrendz: You sound familiar to me? <br />@ Secret agent mama: I am, but he's golden, yes!<br />@ Kim: thanks<br />@ Vicky:So am I!!<br />@ Ladyinred: thanks!<br />@ Carmi: I think that's a very nice compliment, coming from you!! Thanks!<br />@ Gattina: great minds think alike!<br />@ Smoochiefrog: thanks!<br />@ Maggie: Yes, that new camera really is the good news in this whole story!<br />@ Robynn: The trees are knotted willows, and they're supposed to be cut back every to years, to keep them in shape. By summer, they'll have new sprouts. <br />@ Nik: I love cows too!<br />@ Daisy: the bird is my favourite too!
