The confrontation by helenhall

The confrontation

Yesterday we were able to complete the final section of the Greensand Ridge Walk. We covered 16 km at our sedentary pace and were back just in time for the rain to start.

Whilst I carried my camera with me all day, I am finding more and more that I need time to be in a place before photographing anything - I prefer to be out with the camera for that purpose alone.

We crossed a couple of fields with cows and heifers. As I paused to see if I could make a portrait of this young lass, and edged a little closer, I became aware that the whole herd had decided to march purposefully towards me and then when I backed off, towards the gate we were heading for.

I put my camera away, and concentrated on getting out of the field unscathed!
nice

I prefer to be alone too when I walk around with my camera. Great head on shot, looking right at ya.

I would not have got this close, much too cowardly (sorry about that)!

Studious. Lovely detail - including the flies.

Lovely lady- I think the flies would bother me though. I've been taking out my smaller camera lately. It allows me to look around and not have the weight to deal with. Good shot!

Cattle are always curious and do not appear to be afraid of humans or dogs. There is no animosity in this cow's eyes - just wants a pat - or an apple!

Great shot and point of view! Your story made me smile. Thank goodness, cows are usually curious but gentle.

Did you play 'I'll survive' by Gloria Gaynor when you reached safety?
