Cow? Horse?


Cow? Horse?

For a while I could not figure out why Jaan always talked about cows and horses every time we passed a certain place in our walks. He finally explained. This old smashed sign (or whatever it is?) looks like a cow or a horse to him. See it? Four legs and a head. . . . (His hands are on the head in the picture.) We did not pose him; he just instinctively knew how an old farmer should stand for a portrait with his livestock.

Oh Honey....The photographic artistry you display in composition of the picture, camera angle, and use of sepia tone is stunning. How I wish his Great-Great-Grandpa Page could see that photo! He oversaw the dairy at Cal Poly for many years and was devoted to the livestock.

We love each of you.
