This morning, was cold and crisp. I got a call from my husband telling me the sky was blue and clear; it would be a great morning to take some pictures with my newly-upgraded Canon Rebel T3i. Sometimes I forget that I am not actually a slave to my house and I can go shoot pictures on a beautiful snowy morning if I have the desire. So, Sadie, Michael and I were off. We just drove around Leland and Salem backroads, and I'd stop when ever I saw something that caught my eye. I was hoping to get a good shot of Maple Mountain all covered in white with a brilliant blue sky as a backdrop, but the clouds were too dark. So I got West Mountain instead.
Michael is a great photography buddy as he'll just quietly sit in the back with my phone playing on whatever game is currently in to. Sadie, on the other hand screamed every time I got out of the car. That makes Michael even more saintly, as he'd just ignore her.
For about 45 minutes, I drove around. My third or fourth stop was in front of a herd of cattle. There were lots of babies and I just had to take their pictures. I think I made those mama cows very nervous; I was afraid they were going to charge at me. Luckily, I am still in one piece. I also nearly got my car stuck in the snow at that spot. What an adventure.
This cow was very friendly. As soon as I walked over to the fence with my camera, this beauty comes sauntering up to talk. I was intimidated by those horns with my as I'd just finished shooting the nervous mama cows. I could have taken quite a few more pictures with this cow if I hadn't been so anxious.
After I was finished, I came home pulling in to the garage. I went to Sadie's side of the car to unbuckle her and she started crying again. There is no winning with her today. I hope she's feeling okay.
Great pictures, you just need to submit some of your pics to a magazine or contest.
