365/142: 11 July 2010: Nostrils

I’ve always thought cattle have lovely expressive eyes – kind of watery and sad – so this evening I was trying for some shots with the co-operation of the local bullocks at the bottom of the village. Of course, they’re just a bit too inquisitive to pose politely so the eyes were a bit of a challenge so decided to have a bit of fun instead.

I’m guessing that it’s difficult to have expressive nostrils – moist seems to be the operative word…

Nice bucolic scene for today – not sure what breed these cattle are, but their orange colour is displayed to good advantage by the light at sunset.

365/116: 15 June 2010: A Rubber Cow

Funny how the photographic muse (moos) takes you. Travelled back from Trawsfynydd today over the road to Bala. Absolutely gorgeous afternoon, stunning scenery and absolutely no urge to photograph it. Why?
Anyhow, just to add to the mystery, I got home and sat at the computer to read my e-mails, notice this rubber cow staring at me from the shelf and get an irresistible urge to photograph it. So here it is as a counterfoil to the designer reindeer from earlier this week.

PS Don’t ask why I have a rubber cow on my bookshelf – it’s just there.
