I visited my parent's farm this weekend and on the way home, while driving through the Minnesota River Valley near Morton, Minnesota, I came across this herd of cows.  I'd seen them before when I was passing through, but never had a chance to stop and photograph them.

Cows are wonderful.  They show great interest in passing strangers, staring unabashedly.  I thought they were adorable, but I can't say if they felt the same way about me. 

 They watched me for a little while, discussing me among themselves, then they all turned and walked away.  That part was a little rude.
