A FLORIDA FLASHBACK FOR CAMERA CRITTERS (hosted by Misty Dawn).
This contented cow was chomping on some palm fronds -- he was in a pasture just a little ways further up the Caloosahatchie River from the Canal Cottage. It's next door to a marina where we have some boat work done. So while Bill was talking boat stuff I was wandering around the farm.
Most people don't think of Florida as farm country (at least I didn't used to) but there is actually quite a lot of rural acreage in the part of it where we live.
Do you have a spam issue on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; we have developed some nice methods and we are looking to trade
methods with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

Delightful shot. And it appears that the cows in Florida do not have to live with a face full of flies like they do here. I am always removing them before I post a cow picture.

Awesome! I love the one where she's looking right at you. Did NOT know that cows ate palm fronds. Learn something every day.

That cow has perfectly posed for your camera!

Love your photo. I was one of those that never thought of Florida as being farm country. Being from Kentucky, I guess I always thought of Florida as being beaches and tourists areas only. I was surprised to see cattle on recent visits to Florida, even near Disney World. But, they seemed to be thriving so why not.

Fantastic photos and I am one of those that never thought of Fl as cow country ~ thanks, (A Creative Harbor)

I understand inland Fla is quite rural, the old Florida....didn't know cows ate palms! Learn something new every day...

Contentment among the fronds. These are such peaceful photos, Sallie.

Great shots. I wouldn't have thought of palms as being good grazing plants. Learn something new most days.

Really neat shots! I wonder if that cow is of the Florida Cracker breed or the Piney Woods breed...a cow that would handle heat really well.
Whatever it is you did a wonderful job with that photographic capture.

Lovely, unusual shots: I never see a white cow locally!

Cows and palm fronds do seem like an unusual combination.
Posted by: Gaelyn | August 04, 2012 at 11:02 PM
Love the cow. It looks like s/he is posing for you!

I used to live in Florida, but I've never seen a cow munching on a palm. A very funny sight! Love it. :)

So cute and beautiful.

She's such a pretty cow!

Love the white of this cow! So adorable peeking through the palm fronds!

Great photo of the cow/heifer or steer, certainly not a bull. Looks like a British White or a French Charolais.
As the charolais do not mind colder conditions, I suspect it could be of that breed. Excellent meat, for we lovers of steaks. Friends of mine breed the charolais in Iowa as a hobby farm interest. Talk about pampered cattle, seeing was believing - ha ha! As you can see I am one of those boys -
as the saying goes -"You can take the boy/girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy/girl".
I love it when you put up rural scenes.
Cheers

Weather report: 7.45am Sunday 5th. August.
Incredible - sunny clear skies and so far none of the horrible August winds! Fingers crossed it stays this way for the rest of August!!!!

I didn't think your canal cottage area was very rural, either. I learned something today!
