Checking in on Gypsy

Whenever we’re in this part of Capitol Hill, we’ve taken to passing by Gypsy the cow to see how she’s been dressed up. I’m not sure quite what this represents – vacation season? Her people went to Hawaii?

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

The final lotus, posted earlier:

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max
1/600s f/1.6 at 5.1mm iso32 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

What a fun subject to photograph. She does look dressed up for Hawaii. How odd.

Gypsy the cow must have a significant following.

I would guess her owners were in Hawaii too! V

Hawaii was the last state to join the union, so maybe Gypsy is sending a cryptic message about DC statehood.

That's just awesome. My favorite one so far. V

That is a great ongoing project to have in one's yard.

Looking for a luau! Love the look on her face….like please help. V

Fun shot - to me she looks like she's anxiously waiting for the owners' return :) V

Dixie is looking uber-festive. Great find and capture. V

Must be fun for the kids to dress up the cow.

What a great capture. Love it.

Hope she doesn't eat the decorations. V

nice and fun image, the colors are a little too bright! V

These people are having a lot fun with Gypsy. Must be fun to see what new getup she'll be decked out in the next time you go by. V

Poor Gypsy. By her expression it looks like she’s putting up with the antics of her owners. Neat photo.

Your low angle of capture works so well in this nicely composed capture. The tree and fence frames the flag and Gypsy's face which I see as the focal point in this wonderful image. A humorous and fun image with excellent clarity and vibrance. VV

this is quite a flowered cow, great picture and creativity!

Raymond		12-Aug-2021 10:34
I'd say Hawaii as well. So creative

I guess you are right about Hawaii. I would think the same

joseantonio		12-Aug-2021 06:42
nicely framed with the tree.V.

Gypsy does not appear pleased with this festive get-up...in fact she looks scary angry...even the flowers have dropped their petals in alarm..
