Marc Ex Member Gender:	Picture Mar 21^st, 2010 at 6:23pm Those of you who have known me for a long time will see some humor in the radical change in my photographic subject matter these days. Hopefully everyone else will see the humor I did when I took this at my brother-in-laws ranch a few weeks ago. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!

Santa Gertrudis White Face mix? Hard to tell where in Texas, but I'd guess not too far from a river... I don't recall seeing that many trees flying over the Kingsville area... My neighbor in Beeville had a little weekender outside of town... two sections, and ran 50 head of cattle that looked a lot like the cow in your photo...

A family barbecue there was a half steer and two hogs... The steaks were awesome and the leaner cuts made for unbelievably great chicken fried steak...

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. If it's a beautiful fighter, your heart will be ever there

Hey, it wasn't meant to be a pretty picture - I just thought it was cute. (But then I've been called a horses A$$, does that count?)

Delta - Nope, just regular single exposure. HDR would have made the birds on the ground just as bright as the cow.

Batch - I'm not a bovine guy, so I would have to just call it a cow Grin

. It was shot in Gonzales County about 35 miles south of Austin. He has a lot of green because of an abundance of large livestock ponds (tanks) and some creeks.
