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...........

Thanks for the visit guys,All faves and comments are very much appreciated.
No new shots yet, so as I missed last week thought I’d better try and conjure something up for this week! I had a few just bokeh images from last year and although I liked them wasn’t sure anyone else would! Then yesterday I thought maybe I’d try and merge in a detailed flower among the bokeh.. I’ve got a few different colour versions of this, can’t make up my mind..
Happy Umbellifer Wednesday! :)

This beauty was a little harder to settle, staying on all fours during my storytelling and occasionally slobbering on me

finally i found an angle without other visitors...but sorry...there was the cow :-)
This will be the last photo of the Plains Bison cow taken last week. She looks so docile in this photo, but she was keeping an eye on us as we took her pictures. There was a young female bison laying down behind her, I think she was keeping guard over her.
usually they will bunch together, but this storm was actually not too violent... and they know. Cows know.
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.
Cows are fast becoming one of my favourite animals.
Their behaviours and social structures are so fascinating to watch.
