Radiant: Farm Animals Up Close and Personal

A photographer captures the beauty and personality of farm animals in this collection of beautiful portraits and stories.

In Radiant, photographer Traer Scott reveals the hidden lives of barnyard animals from cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens to Dolly the wooly llama, Bianca the Sicilian miniature donkey, Percy the Indian peafowl, and Justice the yak.

Scott pares these delightful images with personal anecdotes about a Texas longhorn steer whose best friends are a trio of goats, a turkey who likes to snack on grapes and watermelon, and many others.

Scott also shares fascinating information about farm animals.
