Things That are Awesome: Playful Cows by laurentye

Things That are Awesome: Playful Cows

Taken on Day 1 of my road trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba
I think cows are kind of funny and these cows were especially awesome. As soon as I walked up to the fence to take pictures, these cows started showing off. They would look at me and then the two black and white ones would start pushing one another and doing funny little jump/hops (I think trying to get my attention). As you can see, the one on the left was so excited to have his picture taken that he lost control of his bladder.

Also, I'm pretty sure this should be viewed large in order to fully experience these awesome cows.

*I was playing around with the editing and preferred this to be desaturated (the colour wasn't very good anyway)

* I just realized that throughout my caption I referred to these as males, but I suppose they would be female or else they would be bulls.
LOL! No bladder control on film! Great angle through the barbed wire!

Winnipeg??!! You should have stay till today, they just got a hockey team! :-)

I like the framing with the wires, and the fact that the two closest cows are obviously talking about you.

Crazy timing on the cow shot! Did you have a Slurpee in Winnipeg? I hear their big claim to fame has been getting crowned Slurpee Capital of the World numerous times.
