Free range

From Photo of the day (2009)


We started letting our milk cows out in the fields this week - within 5 minutes of opening the wire the barn is empty. Even the old arthritic guernsey managed to hobble out a ways and eat a bit before lying down and eating the grass around her. She is the closest cow in this picture (not the black and white holstein). I liked the shadows they cast, the highlights in the dew of the grass, and the way the cows lead off into the distance - of course as soon as I got my camera the sun faded. oh well. I cropped the original as the sky was miserably burnt.
