country comfort

i grew up living pretty much in the country, and while not strictly on a farm, our house was surrounded by paddocks and animals. this photo was taken on a roadside on a drive from hobart to lake st clair. even though it was already mid-morning there was a misty fog sitting on green gently sloping pastures, with a herd of cows quietly grazing, and the weak sunlight (it was close to the shortest day of the year) was enough to illuminate the fluff (seeds) on these bullreed stalks. it was pretty and serene and reminded me of my childhood. imho this photo is worth clicking on to bring it to fullsize.
