Photographed just outside of Petaluma, this photograph captures a timeless scene of life shaped by the land.
On a hot summer afternoon, a lone cow found shelter under an old oak, its thick branches thrown wide against the sky.
The boulders at the tree’s base, shaped and placed by time, help shield it from the prevailing Pacific winds, allowing it to stand strong season after season.
This fine art print preserves a quiet, enduring moment — the simple grace of survival, the comfort of shade on a sweltering day, and the rugged beauty of California’s working countryside.
“Grazin’ in the Shade” is a tribute to resilience, to the unseen forces that shape the land, and to the small, perfect moments that too often go unnoticed.
