Longhorn With Attitude



I drove out to Flower Mound today to get pictures of trees covered in pretty white blooming flowers, but I didn't really find what I wanted. What I did find was a pair of longhorn cattle. When I first walked up to the fence they came walking toward me. I talked to them and reached out as both of them stuck their faces over the fence. The white one sniffed me and tried to lick my hand as I briefly petted his head, but I wasn't having any of that. I have never been a big fan of animals licking me. Turns out I wasn't a favorite of the longhorn, because he proceeds to start shoving his five foot horns through then fence and waving them side to side in an effort to hit me. I didn't get a picture of this because I was dodging the long horns coming at me. They were entertaining to say the least. In the end I did get a couple of good candid photos of the agressive white longhorn.
