Starting this week I'm making a slight change to the Five Senses Friday format, which I'll share with you tomorrow, new and improved. In the meantime, meet Annaleise of Gordon's Fold, our friend's herd of Highland Cattle. Her horns are a bit intimidating, but I was standing on the other side of a metal fence. Only after J distracted the herd (including Thor the enormous black bull) with a bale of fresh hay did dare venture into the pasture...
There's Annaleise watching me with a mouth full of hay, Thor behind her.
Annaliese became a cow only after giving birth to her first calf, Yukon, last spring. Before that she was technically a heifer — just one of the little facts I've picked up about cattle this year.

Highland cattle are so beautiful. I think Annaleise is ready for her closeup!
My goodness, that's quite an intimidating stare. I remember first seeing Highland cattle when I drove around Scotland some years back. I spent a lot of time jumping in and out the car to take pictures of the magnificent creatures.
I've expressed this sentiment before on your blog, but I'm going to do it again, "Incredible, astounding, beautiful creatures. An honor to share the world with them."
What a great name for her.
They are all gorgeous.
Wonderful shots.
I'm in love with Annaleise and her friends....
