The Gaze

The Gaze

The Gaze was taken at Grizzle Ridge Arena in June 2025, during a brief pause at a cattle sort. Amid the dust and movement, in a place built for action and noise, this cow found stillness—and so did I. For just a moment, there were no flanks to pressure, no pens to shift between.

Just stillness, trust, and shared understanding between the two.
