Asher had recently urged that I post again a photo from 2009 of a family of longhorn cattle lounging in the shade of a large tree not far from our then home in Weatherford, Texas.
When I first posted it, some of my colleagues aptly commented that it might have been nice if that red car were not in the scene (our then one year old Nissan Maxima, still looking just like that) and that it might have been nicer of there were not some strands of barbed wire in the foreground. It was suggested that I revisit the site, park the car out of the frame, and shoot so as to avoid the intrusion of the barbed wire. And of course, catch the family of critters in a comparable pose.
That didn't happen. For one thing, I didn't know how to say, "Hit your marks - this is picture" in Longhornian.
But just yesterday I indulged in some further bush-league postprocessing, and here we have it:
