Highland Cow Print

Description

One quiet afternoon, while I was out exploring the hills of Petaluma with my camera, I had the kind of encounter that stays with you. I came across a Highland cow, standing there, her long, shaggy coat rustling in the breeze. I stopped in my tracks—it was like she was waiting for me, as if she had something to say.

“Well, hello there,” I said, feeling a little silly talking to a cow. But she didn’t seem to mind. She just stood there, looking at me with those calm, knowing eyes. I took a step closer and asked, “Do you have a name?” I didn’t expect an answer, but then, like it had been waiting in my mind, the name “Hazel” appeared.

I smiled to myself. “Of course, Hazel,” I said aloud. It was a moment that felt familiar, like we’d known each other for years, even though we had just met. It reminded me of something Elwood P. Dowd once said: “I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I’m with.” And here I was, having a wonderful time, talking to a cow named Hazel.

That was the only time I ever saw her, but it was enough. We didn’t need to exchange many words; it was a connection of understanding, like when Elwood said, “You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space—but any objections.” Hazel wasn’t just a cow standing in a field—she was a kindred spirit, offering a quiet kind of companionship that didn’t need explanation.

After that day, I’ve often thought about Hazel. I wonder if she thinks of me too. Hazel, with her quiet grace, was a reminder of how important it is to be pleasant, to embrace the simple joys and connections that come our way, no matter how brief.

That one moment, capturing Hazel as she stood there with the wind in her coat and her eyes half-hidden, felt like more than just a photo. It was a moment of peace, of understanding, of being present. And like Elwood and Harvey, it’s one of those rare encounters that stay with you, reminding you that the most meaningful connections often come from the most unexpected places.
