Description
While traveling through California to photograph the 2019 Superbloom, I was greeted by this herd of curious cattle in the rolling hills of a springtime farm.
It was adorable the way they came together and positioned themselves to look at this human with a camera.
God made them as inquisitive and intelligent creatures.
I quickly went back to the car to change lens for a wider angle as more joined the group.
By the time I returned, they were already heading back to foraging, their curiosity satisfied.

Photography Notes::
This image would make an ideal gift for the cowboy, cowgirl and/or rancher in the family, and anyone who appreciates a lovely farm landscape!
Photo is uncropped. Only minor lighting adjustments have been done to my original photograph.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
