The Running of the Cows

Cows race across a pasture in Dallas County, Alabama, shortly after a rain shower. Invigorated after weeks and weeks of drought, the cows took off toward the cedar-tree horizon, frolicking and mooing "Thank You!" to the great Rainmaker in the Sky.

Nice shot. I like it a lot. Cows are just like anything else. They love to run when the mood hits them.

I love how fast cows can run, and I also love that if you run towards them, one will freak out and turn to run away, then they all turn and run.

Another great photo! This one has captured that elusive energy that animals display when responding to changes in their environment. What joy! Joan Bartos, Napa,CA

I've been herding cows all day to day - a couple of dozen or so and have linked to your post here from http://ackworthborn.blogspot.com/2007/08/cows.html
