Mad Cow but not diseased!


http://flic.kr/p/92UE4n

Have you ever seen a cow do this? This is my "WOW!" photo selection for the K3 contest

This crazy bovine was at a cattle ranch in Santa Barbara, CA, around October 2010--after spotting him while driving past the barn on a little wine tour in Solvang, I noticed he was spazzing like crazy! Pulling over and getting out my Pentax K7 (sorry dont remember the lens for this one), I noticed he was actually scratching his rib cage with his rear leg, not unlike a dog. This only lasted about 4 seconds, but just long enough to snap one shot off (so lucky I already had my camera on, lens cap off, and ready to go!).

Anyways, I picked this shot for the contest mainly because I've never seen a cow do this, and it certainly screams "WOW!" Also, I am in desperate need of a new camera and cant afford to buy one--I've been without a camera for almost a year and I've really been missing out on capturing moments like this...

Hope you love it, I sure do!!
