We were out for a drive and I saw some cows.
MD knows the signs (of my twitchy camera fingers) by now, so he pulled up.
I remembered back when I had my cows, that a little gentle call of "come on, come on" would always bring them over.
It worked for #23
#33 got a bit spooked ...
... at first, but then she just couldn't resist
#27 stopped chewing long enough to come and give me the once-over
and Jess was downright friendly
All the rest of them had a bit of a discussion and decided it'd be safe enough to meander over and get their photos taken too.
But, by that time, I saw signs of movement over at the farmhouse and, as I was practically trespassing, and had disturbed the whole mob, thought it was best to get going.
Good fun!
Here's a link to a previous post about my favourite cow I had years ago
These are wonderful! They show so much personality in each of the cows!
ReplyDeleteYou have the bokeh goin' on for their portraits! They might want them hanging on the walls of the barn. They are very pretty ladies.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos
ReplyDeletebut what really impresses me
is that fantastic blue sky!
Lucky you.
Enjoy.
they are just so cute....i did the exact same thing 2 days ago with cows!!
ReplyDeletei don't even have to tell chuck anymore, he just looks over at me and then spins the car around!!
Oh Susan I really enjoyed spending time with you and your new friends. B
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And yes the sky is gorgeous-looks like it was a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Those photos are simply wonderful! I just love the personality cows have. And their beautiful eyes!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a card, Susan! I'm sure the farmer wouldn't have minded a delightful lady like you trespassing and making friends with each of his cows. Your pictures are MARVELLOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteCute and funny pictures...they enjoyed you as much as you enjoyed them. It proves-cows have personality too! Love these photos. You can see them all looking your way! What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the "flying" cow! :))
ReplyDeleteThey are such a good topic for photos with their black and white coat!
Aren't we lucky to have such patient and understanding drivers.
ReplyDeleteI just love cows, thay are such courious creatures.
ReplyDeleteJill , too right - that's what I love about cows.
ReplyDeleteMary , lol, I got that impression... none of them wanted to be left out!
Raindrops , I'm always fascinated by the sky - yes, it is gorgeous in its blueness :D)
Debbie , lol, our men are our photographic enablers (love em don't we).
Buttons , that's good! I love your Bossy cow eating the apples too :D)
Calling Ravens , :D) the day was perfect!
Lea , oh yes, those cow eyes - the eyelashes get me too :D)
Desiree , lol, I appreciate what you're saying but... um... I sort of caused a stampede of a lot of them - there were more coming up from the back of that paddock. I think I'm getting addicted to trespassing - blame Debbie from It's All About Purple (4th comment down) - she started it ;D)
Susan , had loads of fun photographing them. Oh, it brought back memories of my cows :D)
DeeBee , I agree - that 'flying cow' photo I liked a lot. There's a paddock we pass with black & white cows - there's a certain photo angle I'm aiming for.
Joan Elizabeth, absolutely!! - they just know don't they :D) Our fun is their fun :D)
Angela , yep, I was amazed how they twigged, because I kept my voice really soft... I used to experiment with my own cows - their hearing is so good. Or perhaps they saw me and knew I'd have a treat. Either way, they're so lovable aren't they.
~ Thanks for sharing some cow love ~ Have a great weekend everyone

Sue Irene, :D)... you're welcome! Great to have you join the blog too.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you :D) Yes, a dairy was close by. I was a bit naughty stirring them all up like that. Didn't quite realise that cow-word would spread and they'd ALL come running, lol!
#27 so much, kindled a memory of one of my hobby farm friends of long ago. Her name was Clarabelle. Thanks for the sweet recall. I adore the cow eyes.

Wonderful series capture, Susan. Love the "spooked" action shot.
ReplyDeleteHi Dar, so nice that this post has evoked such lovely memories for you. Love the name Clarabelle. Oh yes, those cow eyes just get you don't they!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Vicki, hope you had a wonderful holiday. Glad you enjoyed these shots. I had fun getting them ;D)
love your cow pictures!! they have the biggest...cutest faces!!
ReplyDeletewhen i lived farther south...the people across the street had LOTS of cows...they also had a field up the road, and sometimes they'd walk their herd up the road so they could eat the fresh field...and let the other grow back! and sometimes the cows would get out of their pasture...and i'd wake up to MOO'S and cows eating my plants...haha!!
anyway...thanks for the great moomoo shots and for bringing back my own memories...
