Cattle Talk

I took two photos - one with the lupins in focus and a lower aperture to get this in focus (didn't work) then one using special focus.
Here, John is having a conversation with the herd who rushed down to the fence when they saw him. Gallop gallop!
Three good things:
1. Some real NZ cribs (holiday houses) here - held together with wire and corregated iron!
2. Got a good rolling wave photo - when the biggest wave came in and made this thunderous sound!
3. Some granny (grandpa) naps!
Young yearlings are always so curious ... and love to check things out .. love the lupins in the foreground ...

The jersey is listening very carefully! I love the way cows are so very knowledgable looking. I miss ours, the smell , the inquisitiveness, the warmth of their bodies as you stroke them. As they were inside for six months of the year they were very tame & used to rub on us & loved having their heads scratched. John is having a great conversation.

@happypat There was an electric fence between the herd and John so they were very careful not to put their noses out too far!

Sounds like you are still having fun. John has clearly got the full attention of atleast one of the cattle who seems intent on his every word.
