  Jy’s reg Dina, daai welige witterige sterte maak darem maar net die hele pakket soveel aantrekliker. Veral as n trop teen volle vaart oor die vlaktes hol.
  
  Ek is bly jy’t hierdie foto so geniet, baie dankie!

Very adorable shot and so nicely you snapped it. The outline of the bull shines with the rays of sun, which makes it very strong and pleasing.

Thanks for sharing and do visit my silhouette as well 🙂

    In silhouette the tree “formations” are very reminiscent of our acasias and bushwillows 😉
