Hey, look at those white guys ...



Look at the photo below, gaze at the billowing, cotton-puff clouds and notice the placid sheep ...


... no - cows!
I don't know why, but I've been somewhat fascinated by the herds of 
white cows I see standing around here by the roadsides. 
So stark in comparison to the black & white or russet colored cows that
speckle the California fields. (By the way, their legs aren't black - 
that's just mud.) These girls are hanging out in a marshy area 
on the northern perimeter of Staffanstorp, alongside a bike path.
For sure there are cows of other colors, black, brown, dun,
spotted, mingling among the crowd. But there are enough
white cows here in Skåne that I had to stop and gawk. 
I now know if you search "white cows" on the internet, you'll find an
abundance of fair-haired bovine breeds. Roger thinks these might
unfortunately be destined for the slaughterhouse. At least they
seem to being enjoying their days before their end time; 

no insane Harris Hell Ranch for these boys and girls.
