Some of my favorite videos from Cub Creek

This colt was born in the summer. As the year went on I got to see him grow. By the time I left Virginia I could not tell the difference between him and the older horses from far away.


Like the horses, I saw these cows every morning and every night. To me, it seemed that calfs grow slower than colts. Calfs are funny and awkward. Their adolescent stage so well relates to humans as adolescents.
If you look among the tree trunks you can see the cows standing in the shade. The humidity is able to be seen between the hills. I think the excruciating heat is audible and able to be felt at the end of this video.


There is a peacock farm across the road from Cub Creek. The year and a half I was there I never saw a peacock until the last few days....I saw this one every day. He liked to hang out with the guinea hens. Here he is flaunting his feathers to them. I'm not sure if this is pissed off or flirting.
