This is a great photo of cows. It looks like you are having a converstation with them. Do you find you communicate well with animals? My dad has the ability to converse with all animals including wild animals and he passed that gift on to me. I can't imagine not being able to communicate with animals.

Well I guess I do have a bond with some animals. I used to want to marry my cat!(I was only 5). Put it this way, I kind of 'know' them when i do connect with a particular animal.
I guess i like the non verbal thing.
MIND YOU, I dont shut up! But when I am forced into non verbal communication I think its more pure and easy. Its just my mind doesnt shut up(and rarely does my mouth!)

Trish, have you ever read any of Temple Grandin's books? She has one about communicating with animals. It's called Animals in Translation

These cows would make a great illustration for a children's book. They are real animals but look so friendly and interested in the viewer.

Well barbara, any tips on getting bucks for my pics is welcome!
These cows were very inquisitive. I find most dairy cows are naturally nice! If you just stand there or sometimes if you call them....but just dont move suddenly or they get a fright and run off!
