"Cows"

Sure, I live near the country, but I don't personally own any cows. Trying to get close enough to
take a photo was daunting as I was worried about "No Trespassing" signs and farmers with shotguns.
Plus, I didn't realize how freaked out cows can get. I'd pull my red Honda over, throw open the door,
jump out, crouch down and aim this tiny silver camera at a bunch of cows. They'd stare for a minute,
either sizing me up or listening to Aerosmith on my radio, then in unison would all head to the farthest pasture!

Hello big mama. Surprised I did not bump into you out in Orange County. I did my shot near Maple View Farms.

Fantastic perspective with the little flowers below. Wonderful.
Cindi Smith17-May-2007 03:08
I love it. A sight I see often! But, if you smile sweetly and take pictures, the farmers and ranchers don't mind. And always saying how cute they look does it every time!
The Third Side17-May-2007 03:01
Wonder what they have against Aerosmith?
Nice perspective.
laine8217-May-2007 02:39
