I will add that I especially enjoyed creating this one because I finally took the plunge and went vegan this year. I much prefer animals that can give me attitude. LOL!
Photo and textures are my own.
These young cows were more than happy to provide an appropriate background for the Cow Parsley...........

The rather bleak-looking Cow Green Reservoir in the Northern Pennines. On the right of shot in the distance can be seen Great Dun Fell, Little Dun Fell and Cross Fell.
Charlie has become quite intrigued with the cows down the road and now has to pause and watch for several minutes during our walk past.

Not quite my usual style but I just spotted it. The wind was blowing up and this was actually the best I could do with these plants.
usually they will bunch together, but this storm was actually not too violent... and they know. Cows know.
A cow moose eating from the bottom of a pond in the evening sun. When first looking at this photo, thought to myself, the moose looks so much at rest. Then blew it up on the screen and noticed her hind legs and rump are covered in mosquitoes and flies. She must have been in misery with all the biting from the insects. This is why moose like to eat from the bottom of ponds, it gives them a brief respite from all the bugs biting at their hind parts.
In this photo, a cow moose is reaching up to bite off tender offshoots of the willow tree. During the long winter months, the moose survive on willow branches. During late spring into summer and fall, they change their diets to green vegetation. Often times, you will find moose in ponds eating from the bottom of the pond. They do this to get away from the constant torrent of mosquito and flies biting at their hind legs, eyes and ears.
A cow moose can weigh up to 1000 lbs. and when they have calves, they are more dangerous than any other animal in Alaska. Moose will stomp any threat that comes near their calves. They have been known and videoed chasing grizzly bears away from their calves. There is also a video from the University of Anchorage of a moose cow stomping a man to death when he walked out of a building and came between the cow and her calves.
When Spring comes to North Table Mountain, these are probably the happiest cows on earth. It was great to be there just a month ago.
