The cows at King's will disappear again for the winter pretty soon I should think. I took Monty to Granchester Measows for a walk and it was blowing a gale. I took a few shots of a kingfisher which is very exciting een if the pics are tiny and blurry. On the way back the path was blocked by a fallen tree that I managed to scramble over/through - it made for a rather nervous last leg of the walk.
Love this crop and nice to see they still have the cattle at King's. It doesn't look very white but I think it's the Park White - a very old breed. That's what they had most years my our son was there.
@happypat There was a stream (& an electric fence I cloned out) between us! This meadow belongs to King's - they also own Granchester Meadows & then some of the other Commons are owned by colleges too - they get everywhere! Mind you that's why they've survived - that & the plague puts underneath some of them!
A beautiful close-up. Their fur is so wooly - I bet one could make a sweater out of it ;). Wow - a kingfisher, that is so cool!
On a side note: a friend of mine just told me that she's going to be in Oxford next winter and I'll definitely be visiting her and plan some time to go over to Cambridge, so I will be able to see you and Monty in a year - yay!
@judithg : That seems a bit early but I'm all excited, too :)! Your little camera has a special place on my desk and every morning, when I see it, I think of you - and of further toy story shots I could take with it ;)...
