To err is human. To forgive, bovine.
Middlesex County, ON, July 2008 [Click to embiggen]
This week's image comes to us courtesy of the farmers just up the road from our house. I was on my way to pick our daughter up from a playdate last weekend when I caught this happy family of moos out of the corner of my eye. The sunroof was open, the sun was shining and cool tunes were tootling through the wondervan. I pulled over and quietly approached the roadside fence to avoid spooking them.
Then the one in front started to pee. So much for not spooking them. Ah, the joys of photography.
Your turn: It's time for YOU to share YOUR animal-themed pictures with the rest of my little blog-world. Here's how it works:
- I post a new entry every Wednesday evening.
- Each entry has a unique theme. This week's is...animals!
- You post a similarly themed image over on your blog.
- You paste a link to your entry in a comment here.
- If you've already posted something that fits (on a blog, Facebook, MySpace, wherever) simply post the link to the existing entry.
- Feel free to play along as often as you like. You can keep posting, playing and sharing for as long as you wish.
- Please share this link with friends, too. I like when lots of folks have fun with photography.

I love this theme!
Here is an old WW post of mine that fits this perfectly!

You've picked one of my two most often shot subjects (the other being Carolina Hurricanes Hockey). I'll have a tough time narrowing the field for this one. Expect many dogs. Many, many dogs.
A shot from last winter.

I like to think that this cow is a thug among his own: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tkbrauer/2154382947/in/set-72157602363960025/
or then there's this guy...

Mine is posted too - I'm sharing a few photos of our cows from our ranch and our family pets. This theme is a good one!

Hope you like it! I will come back and check out others today too.
Thanks for the prompt Carmi.
Happy Thursday.
I'm up now (finally)
Here is mine: Ring-tail (Raccoon Family) in the Dragoon Mountains of Arizona. (Scroll Down for the Picture.)
Cheers.
coincidentally, i grew up with Eric Burdon and the Animals. No pictures to prove it, however.
cheers all,

Thanks for the advice comment on my blog today! I'm totally clueless when it comes to camera differences. I just know the one I want is way to expensive right now. Its good to know that with the right one I can capture all the moments that I have missed in the past.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Love all the photos!
mine is up now too!

i wanted to say i really enjoyed your post on my blog about my sick dad~~thank you so much for caring enough to stop and say hi~~all of the thoughts and prayers helped~~dad is now in local hospital for stroke therapy and mom just got "no bladder cancer now" from her cancer dr~~the world still sucks, but a little less today~~

have a great weekend!
I can see already this is going to be a very fun week! Click here to see a curious encounter at the San Diego Zoo.
Mine is up too. I love the cow...no shame whatever, is there...just doing what comes naturally.
This seems like a game I'd like to play.
click here for a post about my brave little, vacuum attacking dog.
The pee really adds to this shot. :)

"Pssst... ha ha! I'm behind the bars... sucker!!!"

Well, we certainly are not at a loss for subjects around here for this one! But since I know you expect a feline picture, I decided to pose something completely different!
If we could talk to the animals...
I am finally up! I had to gain access to animals. And then I chose cats, of all things. You know how well cats cooperate.
Now to go look at the cute (and perhaps not-so-cute) other contributions...

Mine's up too. Thanks for hosting.

Got mine up as promised:

This post from last month fits the bill perfectly:
Red Sea Fish.
Thanks for the prompt.
Finally made it and managed to get Wordless Wednesday and the Animal theme with one photo.
This one I took underwater in Hawaii. This baby was 4 feet long and hung out with us the entire time we were diving.

My post is here.
I have to remember to do this before Wed when the "new" theme comes out.

Better late than never! Come check out my bird shots. At one point it was almost like the movie "Birds". Although I missed a picture of that because I was trying not to get pooped on!

I am late on entering the animal thematic....but I just loved your picture of your flamingo.
Not sure what kind of bird this is but I was able to capture this amazing picture.
