Cows are scarce on the ground this time of year, so I've had to resort to my iPhoto files for a suitable cow photo.
This was taken in Scotland, in early October. We were leaving our cottage on Loch Lomond and as we passed these beauties, I insisted my husband stop the car so I could stalk the Galloway cows (or "coes" as they say). From several dozen yards away, I walked slowly down the road so as not to spook her, talking to her in my baby voice and getting my camera ready to shoot.
She—or he—soon grew bored with my nonsense talk, and went back to eating the grass.
I felt pretty lucky to have gotten so close to a Scottish Galloway coe. I wanted to reach out and brush this one's hair. She could use a footbath too.
