This week we had some heavy showers after a long period of drought. For me this was a signal to go out the next morning before sunrise. This is the best time to find fog further into the year. While I was photograpfing I suddenly hear some cracking of branches behind me. Immediatly I turned around too see what it could be. Luckely it just was a highland cow wolking true the field with branches. I smiled and took this photo
