Where's California?



Camera Critters

I met some furry friends who are looking for directions on how to get to California, where the happy cows live.

I told them to just follow their breaths.

This young one dreams of warmer days when he won't have snow on his back and icicles hanging from his belly.

Those eyes look so sad!  But I think they are just frozen that way.  See the ice on the nose?  Maybe Wisconsin cows aren't as happy as I thought.

    These are great, Lisa. I guess they could do with some warmth and sunshine, too, eh?

    (PS Have you heard about the World Wildlife Federation's photo contest? You would be a natural. I tried to leave a messageon your contact page yesterday but couldn't do it.)

    God bless and happy Valentine's Day!

    LOL.............Yes, all the happy cows live in California, but you know, I don't think I've seen a cow since I moved here. I must be going to all the wrong places.

    Love the pictures, and Happy Valentine's Day...................:)

    How happy can dinner be? But it's pretty again, no? Sun and snow, what more can you ask for. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie.

    Their eyes just go right through my heart. Could you do me a favor please? Ask them if they would like to come to Memphis and join my 7 feral cats on the patio and backyard. Now wouldn't my neighbors love that!

    Those happy California Cows crack me up! These guys, not so much. They look decidedly unhappy. I think I would too if I had icicles hanging off of me.

    And you should totally get into that wildlife photo contest somebody up ^there mentioned!

    How funny - and really good photos too. One of my dogs is terrified by cows ... but likes horses! Go figure.

    I 3rd the sentiment that you should "get into that wildlife photo contest!".

    These are fantastic images. You've captured the detail of the icicles perfectly - which in my opinion makes these photos what they are. The detail in the 4th image - ice on the nose - is the best!!

    I saw a cow licking the rain water off one of her buddies the other day. Never seen that before. I just assumed she was too lazy to bend down and drink from the water supply they have ;)

    Happy Valentine's Day!!

    Our friends said it was a blizzard up in the blues. That made me think of ice cream (Dairy Queen) and then of milk products... and of course cows. Cold cows (:

    those poor cows....they definitely need to come here where the cows are much happier, at least they are much warmer!! I hope all is well with you. I have been MIA for awhile and am out of the loop.

    Cows have that way of looking at you. A little bit of curiosity and some sadness too.
