Free to Roam and Miles From Home

Free to Roam and Miles From Home
Highland cows on the road from Elgol, on Skye. By the look of the road behind them they have walked for miles. My link is therefore 'Miles From Our Home' by the Cowboy Junkies

As they are free to roam I have also added 'Free' by the Zac Brown Band

Thank you very much Diana. Really appreciated. They are wonderful looking animals aren't they? I am not too sure I would want to try to move one when they stand in the middle of the road though!

For the first time in two days I can actually comment on a photo and a great one it is too!
I was already 3-4 days behind and 5-6 days is too much to catch up on so I will sadly have to omit viewing and commenting on nearly a week of photos. A pity, but there just aren't enough hours in the day!
Best wishes,
Andy
ps. I want to award a ys but cannot due to 'operation failed' :o(

No worries Andy, - I had an awful job trying to upload this and couldn't even look at it myself for a while! It seems better tonight which is good. Many thanks

An absolute beauty here Carol. For me the whole image sums up the Highlands and Skye in particular. The composition is fantastic and the late summer colours stunning.

Have a great day, Doug

Ecobird club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Many thanks Doug. Really appreciated. They are wonderful looking animals and I guess they must be quite gentle as they seem to wander freely in places. Have a lovely weekend

Ecobird club has replied to Jean
Thank you very much Jean. Really appreciated and thank you for trying so hard to leave a 'star'. I did have a fair bit of trouble uploading it myself and wasn't even sure if it was visible as I couldn't see it myself for a while. Hopefully it is all fixed now though! Have a lovely weekend

Good evening and many thanks Fabio and my apologies for the late response. It makes me smile to see Highland cows wandering around the countryside. It is not so easy to get them to move when they are blocking the road though!

Great all round shot Carol, strange as it seems they bought some of these cattle into Thetford Forest for some reason a few years ago, not sure if they are there now but at the time I would walk there with the dog and got some scary looks from these beasts.
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to HappySnapper
Good evening and many thanks Maurice. Really appreciated. It seems that there are a number of places that now have some Highland cows but it is strange to think of them anywhere else but Scotland. I am sure they are very gentle and they are just curious but I wouldn't argue with those horns!

Good all round shot Carol, fore some reason a few years ago they introduced some highland cattle into Theford Forest, not sure if they are still there now but at that time I would walk the dog there and used to get quiet uncomfortable when walking past these beasts who eyed every step I took.

Ecobird club has replied to Pam J club
Good evening and many thanks Pam. Really appreciated. We once found a group of Highland cows and babies but only took a shot from the distance. I have a healthy respect for the mother protecting her young - and I may be a coward - but I am a safe coward!! These Highland cows are really very big and I wouldn't risk getting close to those horns!!

These cattle are so beautiful and so it the picture! I love the colours and the framing. It reminds me of the pictures they have on the Scottish shortbread tins....and I love both of those too ;-))

Hi Carol

A beautiful picture of these cattle, just right for a postcard.
I remember finding a whole heard of these on the road by Kyle of Lochalsh many many years ago. Of course many more in fields since..

Best Wishes, and a good weekend,

Peter

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Good evening and many thanks Peter. Really appreciated and my apologies for the late response. They still seem to wander the roads though. It is nice that the only hold up on the road is often because of Highland cows or sheep on the road!
