The Farmer's Wife


On the Thursday before I left, I took my last walk around the fields (because Friday there was a monsoon). The cows were out in force. I had been photographing them as I neared the village when I ran into some neighbors out with their children. I met the kids first, as one raced by one his bike and then another on hers, and then, as the third and much smaller kid passed by, she looked up at me and said,"Are you the farmer's wife?"

These calves are brand-new, especially the little one below; Aunt D said it probably had just been born.
