In the quiet rhythm of the countryside, the water buffalo move like dark shadows across the green expanse of the farm. Their great horns curve like crescents of moonlight, and their hides glisten beneath the sun’s patient gaze. Each slow step presses the earth with the weight of centuries—beasts that have ploughed fields, drawn carts, and stood beside humankind since time began. They graze in silence, tails flicking lazily, their breath rising in soft clouds that mingle with the scent of grass and soil. Around them, the air hums with stillness, and the land seems to remember their strength—the steadfast companions of toil and harvest, guardians of the pastoral heart.

ReplyDeleteYou are so poetic Ginny
DeleteThese are great looking cows and calves. Somehow I'm glad I'm on the other side of the fence from these Water Buffalo. I don't think of them as domestic animals.
ReplyDeleteThey have scary horns.
