Blissed out Buffalos and other Animals

While I've been on my travels it has become clear to me that there is something the Lady Denman is lacking.  To add that extra dimension, what we really need is a small herd of chilled out long horned cattle on the Wirreecoo lawn, complete with bells and beads.  Then perhaps a goat or two down the side of the Pond would be nice - and to complete the picture, in the Pond itself, a blissed out water buffalo or two!!  Really obvious when you have been in India for a while ....

You may have noticed that I have found a way to make the pictures smaller, and hence fit more in without photoshop or direct link to iPhoto.  It was clever Leslie who worked that one out! 

Photos: 

1. Blissed out water buffalo

2. Median strip cattle beast.  Have yet to get a really good pic of the really common site of whole herds of median strip baskers.

3. Queen of the road

4. Prince Hotel mascot ... this especially large cattle beast slept under our window each night, with or without company, and kept watch on his posie by day from over the road.

5. Beads and bells - quite a small bell really.  The cows usually have bigger ones with a beautiful tone.

6. Senior traditional gentlemen and their cattle beast enjoying a traditional afternoon nap under shade of a need tree.

7. Basking Bhuj itinerant dogs.

8. Road traffic in the wild north town of Kavda.  Our guide told us something of Kavda's reputation as a wild place with a heritage of looting & piracy.  He clearly wasn't very comfortable there - and then we got stuck in the centre of town for an hour with a flat tyre!!
