My Companion by Araleya

I was having breakfast and she had hers...
We were just few meters far by the width of small road down to the Fewa lake. I was first sat alone and had breakfast..and then she walked by and alone too. She spent time using her mouth only turning a paper box sealed with tape into big sheet of paper. At first I thought she was naughty but seeing her great intention and later I just knew it was her breakfast. She ate all the box. While eating she was on opposite side of small road. We both had breakfast and looked at each other.. I guess she didn't feel alone and me too.

According to what the local guide in Chitawan told me, if the ox or cow eat grass less than 50 kg per day they will not produce milk so in dry season, farmers have to find more grass for them. However in city, this water buffalo had her other choice.

Actually i took series of her but I like this one for the moving ears she made to chase away flies.

Pokhara,
Nepal
