Elegance

As a professional Ballroom dancer I know elegance. I've worn ball gowns with floating chiffon and so many rhinestones it puts a Christmas tree to shame. I have had my hair in the most delicate styles accented with crystal combs and spent hours applying the perfect makeup to wow the judges. However that's not the kind of elegance I want to talk about. I want to talk about something much more simple. Something that many people don't even notice. I want to talk about my cow.

There is something so delicate and soft in that big bovine. She moves with slow grace across her pasture as if performing a wonderful waltz for whoever is lucky enough to catch it. I see it? Does anyone else?

 

Even when grazing its something to be seen, each step is in tune with her mouth. Bite, bite, bite, step. Bite, bite, bite, step. Such a cadence can only be compared to a daring tango.

After all that dancing she curls up in her warm stall to rest. Such a star, my little Rainie.
This is the kind of elegance that can mesmerize me now. I find myself putting down full buckets of water just to capture it.

Rainie, my elegant......cow
