One thing you should know about me is my absolute love for cows! More specifically, highland cows. There is something about them that strikes my soul in a way that is hard to describe. They feel like living symbols of resilience and quiet strength. Everyone has a certain animal that they consider their “spirit animal.” Well, mine is a cow.

Funny enough, I grew up visiting the local fairgrounds to learn about what it takes to care for them, raise them, and witness the occasional birth of a calf. I remember always asking my mom when we could go next. Because my siblings and I were homeschooled, we had plenty of time to go, especially if it was going to be educational. You could say this is where it all started.

Someday I dream to go to Scotland and see the Highland cows. So freely roaming about with not a care in the world. Just being what God created them to be. I want to see myself that way. I want to live my life that way. Free to be me with all my quirks, traits, and everything in between. But just for now, I’ll remain content capturing the ones I see around me in the beauty of a photograph. I challenge you to find your “spirit animal” and see how your soul connects with it!

Happy Trailing!
