Friday Cow Blogging
Normandy cows enjoy their sea views.
The freckled cows of Normandy are famous, appearing on postcards throughout the region. (I sent a few to the USA. Be patient; French mail is not to be rushed.)
While the human toll of the Allied invasion in 1944 is apparent as you travel through the region, what is not so obvious is that the numbers of these pretty cows was also decimated by the fighting. Bombs do not discriminate between beast and man.
These spotty cows lived up the road from us, enjoying the sea breezes. I decided that if I had to be a cow, I'd like to live in Normandy, right on the coast.

Kathy - great photo. I love the framing and the textures.

Thanks, Claire. My battery ran out after I started clicking, but I still ended up with a dozen to choose from.

That's some pretty nice real estate those cows are enjoying.

Yeah, someone from LA would naturally notice that!
