Cows at sunset

Because really, I had nothing better to do.

{cough}

Actually, I was free. As free as a Red Rooster when he's not locked away in solitary confinement in the dog house. As free as a mom can be, when she has narrowly escaped the house armed with only a camera... and a grocery list.

No, people, I was fully dressed. Don't even go there.

Thank the good Lord we found the car keys. Today, I almost got all the dishes washed, almost got the whole main floor of the house vacuumed, almost got the entirety of the bathroom scrubbed. Almost lost my mind. Almost. It would have been fitting, in a depressing kind of way, had those keys remained at large as I would then have almost made it to town.

I was on my way to Walmart, ya'll! All by myself! Yeehaw!

I weep and wail and pour ashes on my head every time I have to shop there.

{sigh} But we can save that for another day.

At first they were all like, "What the heck?"



Cows are not very good models.

Move a few steps this way... now lift your head and look straight into the camera.

Or not.



Is it too much to ask just one of you to lift your head?



Apparently so.

Maybe I should have yelled or whistled to get their attention. Except that I have some kind of disability which causes me to be unable to whistle. I have tried, and tried, and tried. I just can't whistle.

And they're not my cows, so I didn't want to harass them.

AND I had not a clue how the cows were posing, because by this point, I was blind.

Public Service Announcement: Boys and girls, do not look at the sun. Do not look at the sun's reflection bouncing off a mirror. Do not look through a camera at the sun as it shines into your camera's lens and bounces off the mirror contained within the camera, causing it to shine directly through the viewfinder and straight into your eyeball.



Oh the pain and agony I went through to bring you this sun flare.


You Capture - "America"

So I'm late with this You Capture, but better now than when the cows come home.
