Grazy Day: Day 16

2008.02.03
Before the rain. The only one that didn't run away from me.

Shade for the summer.


This tractor reminded me of the movie Cars and the scene of cow tippin'.

I just liked this little barn.

After such a beautiful Saturday, I felt kind of bummed that today was gray and rainy. I was looking forward to getting back outdoors to hunt for photograph subjects. On the way to pick up some lunch (that didn't make it home hot), I noticed the cows grazing in the pasture down the road. I realized if I'm feeling crabby about the rain, I'm sure the cows are, too. So I traipsed around in the rain on someone else's property, mind you, to get these shots. FYI, cows don't respond well to picture taking. They're a little skiddish.......and very rightfully so.

P.S. Taking these shots made the book I'm reading really hit home. I am not a vegetarian, but it is a consideration. If you're interested in how food makes it to our grocers and tables, then I recommend Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma.

Have a great week,
Julie

aknor I love the cow shots..reminds me of home. My favorite is the tractor, tho, I really like how you set that up! You have a great week, too!

oldbabe I don't think cows are cute, but #1 actually is a cute pic.

Not sure about the book...I'm not a vegetarian...but I do try to eat produce from my garden all year long either fresh, canned or frozen! And I do like a good steak every now and then.

PaperWings For it being a rainy day, these still really have great color. I love them all, but the tractor is my fav. (Of course, it's red and rusty.)

mrutherford22 Love number 1! Great set. I'm sure we are all getting sick of the gray February blues. :( Nice photos though!

BreezyOnTheEyes can i tell you that one of my favortie sets of pictures that i ever took for my highschool photography class (on a real slr camera with black and white film, that i developed myself) was a set of cow portraits? these first few remind me of them. i should find the negatives and redo them. i just love cow eyes haha. very cute set, i love #1 and #5 and i laughed at the reference to the cow tippin' scene. ^_^
