I cannot promise that this will be the last photo of cow parsley !!
Taken with telephote for a change, as opposed to 55mm f/1.2 !
Cows are not a rare view on the trekking paths in the Trento Dolomites. We had to make our way through a herd of these lovely animals.
This photo has been explored - thanks everybody!
Cows in the paddock next to the woodshed. The more I clicked the camera, more cows arrived to check out the activity - really pugging up the ground!!!
Parkbos, Wolendorp, The Netherlands
The biennial Cow parsley dominates the woodland edge beside the perimeter path.
It is often confused with Hogweed. An easy way to tell them apart is to break a main stem. Cow parsley has a solid stem whereas that of Hogweed is hollow.
You should not go breaking the stems of the much bigger Giant Hogweed. They contain a caustic sap that can cause painful lesions and even cause long term damage to health. Wvwn touching the leaves can casue a rash. It is huge and not easily confused with its smaller relative. Stay well away.
FOrtunately ther is none in Parkbos.

Cow tunnels were created underneath railroads and roads to give cattle easy access to water sources that otherwise would be cut off. Many years ago there was a pasture on the other side of this tunnel, but it is now grown up. The railroad above it was built as the PRR Southwest Branch. Later it became Penn Central and Conrail. Now it is owned by the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad and on the verge of abandonment. Directly behind me in the photo was Mounts Creek. You can see footprints in the snow, from some animal making use of the tunnel.
