Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share with you captures of some Scottish/ Highland Cows in a natural walking area we call in the Netherlands โDe Roode Beekโ and it is part of the โSchinveldse bossenโ / forest. ~ just on the border with Germany.
The 14 Photographs I show you in this post are taken with my โlateโ Canon eos 550D with 18 - 135 mm lens in early August 2012.
If you remember my post about the glidersโฆ:
Portrait of Gliders (aircraft) in Schinveld the Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ
This area is just next to it and I visited it on the same day. ๐
The location on Google maps I marked with a yellow star โญ๏ธ for you:
Let me show you the beautiful cows / oxen that live there for years and roam free.
I could walk slowly between them and they were amused by me and just carried on what cows like to do most hehehe ๐คญ some did look upโฆ as you will see in my photographs ๐ธ๐
At the end I have a nice bonus too ๐ฅฐ
As you can see, gliders straight on and the Roode Beek to the right. Letโs start our walk.
As I look over the Brookโฆ โRoode Beekโ I see a cow slowly walking into the stream. It was a nice warm day to do so ๐
And literally next to me are many Scottish Cows. There is no fence so they can go where they want, but tend to stay close to the Brook and the nice grass.
I see one black ox.
Also some little ones are thereโฆ arenโt they cute? ๐ฅฐ so cuddlyโฆ but we wonโt go and cuddle them. Donโt worry ๐ we keep our distance.
This one decided to pose for me ๐ธ๐
Another curious calf looks at me what Iโm doingโฆ ๐ธ click ๐
When I look over to the left I see more cows are getting into the waterโฆ to drink and cool down.
As we walk slowly through the cattle some are laying in the grassโฆ
Another young one looks upโฆ ๐
Looks like they are curiousโฆ
With my last captures I will focus on the cows in the water. The surrounding is just like a fairytale ๐คฉ
Last clickโฆ ๐ธ๐
Title: โOXEN DRINKINGโ
๐ธ And here is the bonus part:
Iโm part of a group of photographers that share their photographic captures with artistsโฆ so they can use, the freely given, photographs as reference to create their ART. And lucky me I am an artist myself too, so I can use this too for my art, and I have done so in the past ๐ฅฐ ๐ธ
I wanted to share with you this wonderful OIL painting that โOLIVIA OโCARRA out of Killarney -Irelandโ painted using my photograph from above that She lovingly named โHIGH SUMMERโ 4 October 2017. Iโm always happy when artists share their work with me when they used one of my photographs.

Isnโt that painting lovely? ๐๐ฅฐ๐ She did a grant job ๐คฉ๐
And thatโs all for todayโs post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐๐๐ป Even some #artworks once in a while will come by ๐จ
