This photograph reminds me of an old postcard, and the sepia tone helps set the mooood (haha).Getting these cows to stand at attention and look at the camera was no easy feat! Just kidding, it was actually quite serrendipitous and funny. While leaving the Devils Thumb Ranch restaurant (one of our all-time favorites!), Brian and I came across a field with about a hundred cows all grazing in the dusk. Although the lighting was too dark, I really wanted to try to photograph them. As we slowed the car down and pulled over towards the field, the cows started running away from us and forming a line. While cows are not known for their speed, nor their ability to run at all, these cows were collectively running to stand at attention. When they arrived in their predetermined spots, they abruptly stopped and faced us and I snapped this shot! It was incredibly funny and perhaps somewhat bizzare how they ran, got into a long line and stood still while in perfect formation. I was so happy to be able to witness yet another of those wonderful suprises and mysteries the universe unveils for us.
