131. tears & laughter


life is laughter 
sandwiched between tears—
like oreo cookies




—affectionately called Belties or Oreo Cookie Cows, these black and White-belted cows are a traditional Scottish breed known for their friendly manner, their mothering instincts, and their adaptability to harsh conditions.  This family of Belties includes two babies;  they live on a nearby farm I often pass by just to see them. As I approached for this picture, they all turned in my direction and just looked at me, while blocking off view of the babies.
