THE EYES HAVE IT


Pretty Aubrac cattle grazing near a forest, a very old practice called silvopasture, as opposed to open pasturing.  A particularity of this race of cows is the dark shading around their eyes resembling eye makeup. The photo was taken earlier this summer near Lamastre in the Ardèche department. Courtesy of Patrick Lecron

Expression
La vache la première au pré, lèche toute la rosée. This translates literally to "The cow first in the meadow, licks all the dew." It corresponds to expressions such as "the early bird gets the worm" or "the world belongs to those who rise early."
