The Beauty of Cows

As I was writing yesterday’s rant, I started hunting through that delightfully fertile creative ground commonly known as Flickr for a suitable image of a cow. I discovered that many, MANY people like taking pictures of cows. I also discovered the artistry of a Serb living in France who has chosen the ridiculously long “Voyageur Solitaire-mladjenovic_n” as his handle. I will forgive him for creating this headache because he also creates such stunning photographs.

The picture that first caught my attention stars a quartet of cows, of course.

"306 Cows 2"

Then, I delved deeper into his collection, and I lost my ability to breathe – in a good way.

"014 Red Rose 2"

I am a sucker for flowers, as you know, but seriously… Anyone who can capture so many facets of nature in one shot should be lauded, in my opinion. Don’t you agree?

If you’re inspired, I encourage you to do two things:

1. Go explore the dude’s portfolio for yourself.
2. Pick up your own camera and capture a bit of the world you see.

Everyone has a right to be an artist. Everyone IS an artist.

Share how you see the world.

I guarantee someone will be struck by the beauty of what you see. It will surprise them. It might even surprise you.

And it won’t be a waste of time.

If one can be convinced of cows’ majestic beauty, just think what else is possible!
