The cow stood still like it enjoyed being photographed. Or else it was daring me to get closer. Thanks to Zetong Li for part of the background image since I had to eliminate a goat that photobombed the portrait.
Happy cows in the meadow.
The first grass has also been mowed.
Good yield
It is still very dry!
Rain would be welcome.
Greetings Caroline and all the farm animals
Hiding behind a snow mound clicking away with the camera, a cow caribou stares in my direction. These two caribou were part of a herd of about 500 that were traversing Eagle Summit. It was a warm spring day and was nice to be able to photograph without shivering.
Cows grazing under a pink sky don't eat grass
They fill their tummy with happiness
and the next morning
their milk tastes sweet like strawberries
A few weeks ago, I noted all of the cows were moved away from here. However, one evening on return from the city I spotted three of them but noticed they were younger and much bigger cows like the one on the picture. I wonder where have the previous ones were moved to.

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.
In the company of an MP15 over a quarter-century its junior, a Union Railroad TR5 set idles in front of the railroad’s roundhouse at Hall, Pennsylvania. Anyone who read model railroading magazines in the 1960’s and 1970’s surely remembers Athearn’s cow-and-calf ads for their EMD models. I believe that this was the only such set that I ever photographed.
I took my camera for a walk yesterday. These are cow parsley heads that have somehow survived. I love cow parsley, it is so delicate.
Merged with this texture:
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.
Snapped some roadside cow shots on Friday, this one was edited with the Stackables App for iPhone.
For Slider's Sunday. HSS!
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.
