Personal Photo Challenge - August. Animals.

Despite having my camera with me wherever I went last month I encountered just four types of animals.
Dogs, M'mselle Fleur our beautiful German Shepherd is always nearby and has featured on this blog many times. We often see horses in the fields when out for a walk. Sheep.......I know! I can hear you saying "not sheep again".
And, of course Normandy cows.

Our home is almost completely surrounded by cows.


They have taken up residence in the fields to the left, to the right and behind us.


I took these photographs through the open bedroom window and then played with them in Picmonkey.
A gentle bucolic scene that I never tire of.
bon weekend a tous.

  3. Mooooo!! I love cows and wouldn't mind having a few outside my window - yours are so pretty Maggie - and I bet they supply a lot of those wonderful dairy products Normandy is known for!

    Nice photos and I like the PicMonkey edits.

    Happy weekend - Mary

  5. Cows are a lovely change from cats and dogs Maggie!
    You did a great job with Picmonkey.

    Where my daughter lives in France it's all crop farming - no animals. Strange for me living in New Zealand which has so many, sheep, beef and dairy cows!

    Enjoy your weekend.

  8. I like cow. And I like sheep. I especially like to see them in beautiful country settings. My husband, an old farm kid still at heart, wants sheep. What is he thinking? You have the perfect bedroom view.
