A short hike late this afternoon almost took me and my cow-chasing dogs into the middle of this bunch. Thankfully I got the dogs away before they embarrassed me, but I managed to get some shots of the scene from a distance as we made our exit. The new lens, a Tamron 24-70 seems to perform well, and the colors are accurate for this beautiful, almost spring, afternoon. All too soon the grass will dry out and turn "golden." We'll enjoy the green season while it lasts.

And this is in California ? Why would your dogs embarrass you?😄

Yes, Susan, this is in CA. In addition to a leash requirement, there’s a sign at the trailhead telling people not to allow their dogs to chase the cattle. Mine were off leash (under voice control) but would welcome the chance to herd cattle if the cattle started to run.

I particularly like the first image, The way the light is playing off of the side of the hillside gives the image a warm welcoming feeling. Nicely done.

We live down the road from a pig farmer and a dairy farmer, both small farms. Our dogs would get loose a couple times a year and go exploring. One farmer warned me that if they bothered the animals I might not see them again. Luckily they weren't animal chasers, even left our chickens alone. Those cows are someone's livelihood.

Vicki, I love these landscapes with cows to give a perspective to the overall size.

Very nice Vicki. I like the progression. No sky. A little peek of sky. A little tease, and finally, there is is, mist and all. These are all Mootiful. Sorry. 😁

Beautiful scenics, Vicki. I like the lighting and composition. The image has such a peaceful 'feel.'

Very nice work, as usual, Vicki! I really like my 24 - 70 as an all around lens.
