There is no way I’ll cross that field…. Not even after shedding my red cloak…. Damn those ferocious eyes!

  He wanted to play with me, like a cat playing with a mouse. That would be a scaredy cat.

    There is something good in everyone, you’ve gotta bring out the good in that bull.

  Yikes indeed. He wanted a piece of me. I wanted a piece of him too. Something to barbeque.

That looks like a Texas Longhorn! What’s he doing up in your neck of the woods? I think he needs a new barn. But I really like the photo.

  Animals from Texas, including humans, often come to Colorado to vacation. Having been in Texas recently, I completely understand why.

    We’re having some grass fires here as well, but nothing like you’re dealing with up there. Scary. Hope you’re staying safe.

    There was actually a large grass fire not far from my home yesterday, but I live amongst other homes, so I am not in harms way. You stay safe and hydrated.

Colonel Littleton says, “You don’t have to outrun the bull. You just have to outrun your buddy.” I like this BW, Mike. The bull is, of course, a Longhorn. 🙂

    The Chicken Colonel sighed and asked, “Where the hell is the beef?”
    Col. Littleton is a famous Tennessee designer of gentlemen’s fine leather accoutrements. (wonderful pocket knives. Dean always carried one in his pocket)
    He has mailed fancy catalogues for as long as I can recall. One featured a print with the image of a bull and that quote. I framed it for our lawyer who also bred cattle. I guess it’s a southern “country gentleman” elitist thing. (Assuming that such an elusive creature exists..) Dean just liked their stuff. 😉

And some child was “gored” to death by the Texas Tech bull statue that wasn’t even moving the other night…so it’s probably best that you moved along, too, when he started moving…. Very nice image, though….. 🙂

  You know I saw those headlines, but did not read the story. If I had been gored by a real bull, the headlines might have said something about an old fool. Good thing my fight or flight is still working. And thanks Scott.

  Danke Andy. A good image perhaps needs only a few words. Often times I prefer no words, being the parsimonious sort. And a good evening to you, kind sir.
