COWABUNGA



My husband and I went to our good old standby today. The Corral Steakhouse gave us a great meal as usual.
After eating we walked over to see several cows and steer they had in a pen. This curious long horned critter was very interested in my camera. I shot quickly and backed up before he could get his tongue wrapped around the camera.

If he understood what the restaurant had on the menu he may not have been so friendly :).

Nice close-up of the friendly critter.

He seems a little worried. There's panic in his eyes. :-)

Great photo.

it would be funny to have his tongue around the photo!
Ok, not that funny... ;)

The steakhouse has live cows outside? Wow, never heard of such a thing!

Is it like a seafood restaurant where you pick your own lobster for dinner? Can you go outside and point to the cow you want to eat?

LOL I love it. Yeah cow spit probably wouldn't be the best thing for your camera :)

HOLY COW!
I can honestly say that an animal's tongue has never threatened to disengage me from the camera!
You truly are a risk-taker Sue!!
