I like your walk. It's a place for me with the cows and hay wagons. Really quiet and comfortable. xo Jenny

I can only imagine the serenity in this country walk -- sometimes the city environment just engulfs your life.

I would give anything to live in a place like that... I have to be content in redoing my house with a country theme instead... BUT that does not mean I will start decorating with cows... lol!

Such a beautiful quiet place for a walk. Not the hike and bike trail we have here in the city!

Barbara said...

I love cows. They are such gentle creatures. A couple of years ago when I was on vacation we came up to a huge herd of them. They ambled in front of our car and were so content to just be. They looked at us with those big cow eyes and didn't appear to have a care in the world.

Big Hugs to you,

I love the country scenes, especially in far away lands.

Mary said...

Are those white cows the breed who produce the creamy milk to make those delicious Normandy pouring creams and cheeses Maggie?

I could eat cheese 'until the cows come home' - especially any type from France!

Looks so bucolic there - lovely dairy farms, and no vineyards methinks!

Love - Mary

Like everyone else, I'm struck by the serenity of the scenes. I'll bet that even the putt-putt of the tractor engine wouldn't have broken the spell.

Thankyou for the delightful stroll Maggie.

Vagabonde said...

Very pretty pictures. I think any shot with cows in it makes it peaceful, somehow.

I enjoy going on these walks with you Maggie - you show us such a beautiful picture of the Normandy countryside!
