Thank you kindly Sir!!

Beautiful pastoral scene, nicely captured, Maggs.

As you are well aware Roger, it's not exactly hard to find a scene like this on the Levels ...

Nice... and clever!

Cheers Nicolas

Le bonheur est dans le pré... avec l'herbe si abondante !

Very rich soil round here and the water table is high because the area is barely above sea level.

A great shot Maggs - and I love the title. Love the sky reflections in the water-and the solitary cow setting off into the unknown...
To boldly go....!!!

Glad someone picked up the reference Carol ;))

Looks like their having a good old gossip about Billy ;-)
Have a HHW!

Obviously Billie is not one of the cool kids!!

Lovely landsscape image (looks like the Netherlands).

SOMERSET LEVELS
At the heart of Somerset and giving the County its name, are the internationally important Levels and Moors. Among the lowest, flattest areas in the UK, they were once covered by sea apart from the curious mumps and mounds that rose above them as islands. Somerset is therefore ‘the land of the summer people’ as the rich grazing pastures of the Levels were only accessible in the drier months.

To reach the grasslands from the ‘islands’, prehistoric people built raised wooden tracks, of which there is still evidence today. The most famous is the Sweet Track at Shapwick. The Romans tried managing the Levels but did not have as much success as the monks of Glastonbury. Dutch engineers eventually drained them in the 17th century but thankfully not until after King Alfred had used the marshes to escape the Vikings or English history might have taken a different turn. Still farmed and used for growing willow, the wetlands attract huge numbers of wading birds including the reintroduced Common Crane. (visitsomerset.co.uk)

Doesn’t look at all like pastures in my south, LOL!

I’m sure it doesn’t. Being at such a low level we do tend to stay greener.
Take care and don’t overdo ….

Such a beautiful and tranquil looking scene Maggie.............I love the bright cloudy sky and it's lovely reflections.

The cows seems to like it well enough...............and it's nice to see a landscape that's not parched and dry.

That is actually a meeting of the Cowservative Party deciding which way to vote in the leadership debate and Billie is a Don’t Know.

:-)))

As Keith indicates, Maggie, perhaps Billie is happy enough on his own (or is it a her?).
I thought Somerset was named after the former county town of Somerton, but I could be wrong!

I’m not going to go into the field and risk a stampede by checking the sex of the cattle and I’m certainly not going to argue with Somerset’s tourism site - they might throw me out ;))

If that is your source, Maggie then I would most definitely take it up with them!
Or I'll do it on your behalf. These things irritate me!
(Of course in the cool light of day, I never bother as quite frankly, life's too short!)
