The top cow (LOL - I don't mean the boss cow) stands out
so well against the sky and the hill there. A very nice scene well captured, Lyn.

Neat shot Lyn. I am trying to remember the name of these cattle.... I believe they are the ones whose lineage can be traced back to very earliest of times here. Highland cattle you say but seems like there is another name......???

Such an nice shot and you have teased us with the view. Looks like the cows need sheared. Are those dread locks? Good post and great presentation Lyn.

As we almost don't have hills in Holland, we are using another saying with the same meaning Lyn: 'the grass in neighbour's garden is always greener than in the garden of your own.'
So cows don't have to climb hills in my country to find out whether this saying is true or not. Quite easy for them.
Your wonderful capture is a very good visualisation of this saying as well. Have to think it over how I can do this in my country, lol.

Regards, Cornelius.

I adore these, think we call them Aberdeen Angus here. I think they have to be the cutest cows lol. Always look as though they need a good brush, but look amazing against the back drop of the Scottish highlands. I love that one posing for you lol.
