Cows and other farm critters . . . post yours

You want farm critters? I'll give you farm critters!

In the little alpine village of Gimmelwald, the air is clear and the critters are very friendly...

There is no truth to the rumor that the Swiss Ministry of Culture banned me from the country after I posted this photo.

Ooooh, I like the one of the lad watching the cow being milked a lot - especially the way all the bits that are usually important are hidden, but you can still see the wonderment in his posture.

It's a long while since I milked - amazingly satisfying , but it doesn't half make your hands ache for the first few years!

The other one I love is the coastline, with the Holstein-Frisian's white bits as the focal point. Must have a look and see if I have any...

Sorry this isn't a rangefinder photograph. I used my Olympus E500. I find the hardest part of photographing farm animals is getting them to smile.:D
