:lol: Well done L Lass, so perceptive! :lol: I just absolutely love these cows and when I go to Islay I always take lots of photographs of them. I was in Kintyre last week and although I looked, I didn't see any of them unfortunately, just lots of sheep!

The moonlit picture is beautiful too btw, love it.

Saw you along the shore with the camera and figured you were trying to photograph the cattle as they were running away from you :lol: and nothing wrong with his hairstyle - it's just a bit retro, that's all. :wink:

LL and GG. Not a cow, which is female - that fine specimen is a boy. :) The rest are girls though.

Those two shots are pure class. Still not sure which one I like most :D

This is one I took of Cara Island a couple of weeks ago:

I got caught out in that rain, at Torrisdale. Walking the dogs and only a few hundred yards from the car without a raincoat. Drenched.
