Here are a few more images from my outing with the incredible longhorns.  This is the big daddy of the group:

I was surprised to see a blue-eyed cow:

They are very social animals and seem to enjoy each other.  Here are two young cows that stuck pretty close together:

They are also very careful with their horns – they have a great sense of where they are at all times.

I love cows and to be able to be so close to these guys and have them be so comfortable was truly amazing.  Thanks for stopping by!

Before the second big snow storm, I had the opportunity to photograph longhorns (here in Virginia) with Kathy Winkler, a wonderful local artist who specializes in painting longhorns, though she also takes commissions for other animals including dogs and cats.

I’m a big fan of the bovine so I jumped at the chance.  Here are a few of the images, I’ll post more later.  The thing that struck me about them is they are very family oriented.  They welcomed us, but kept a watchful eye.  It is calf season, after all.

This is the second part of our session with Morgan, the beautiful yellow lab.  Because of the heat, we worked in the very early morning, and it turned out to be one of those very humid, foggy mornings.

Someone suggested I try this in black and white, and when I did, I liked it!  It almost makes the sun look like the moon.

This is Morgan waiting at the window thinking about the next time she gets to go play in the field near her house.

I previously posted a few images of Morgan when I met her during out initial consult prior to the session – you can see them here.   Well, we had our session so I’m going to post more images.  I decided to split it into 2 posts – “Morgan the Athlete” and “Morgan the Model”.  Morgan is a beautiful yellow lab who exudes happiness and energy.  She loves to run as much as she loves her owners.  Here’s Morgan the athlete:

This is Morgan waiting patiently for the action to start.

If I were to guess her motto, it would be something like – “Point your body in the right direction, close your eyes and go!”
