COWS ON PARADE

 February is a bit of a dismal month here, with storms, high winds, icy rain, if not snow. So I thought I would present a post on a lighter note with a parade of Cows in Scotland, and further afield.  

"I'm Showing Off my Horns"

 

 "I'm Hungry"

 

We were staying in a self catering cottage at Fionnphort on the far west  of the Isle of Mull, just across from Iona, and the highland cattle roamed freely  around the small village - one shop, one pub, one seafood cabin and the ferry office.  Here one hungry cow decided to take a nibble from the garden of our cottage, so I dashed out to take a photograph.

"I've walked far enough - I'm having a rest."

 

 

I'm Little and Lonely!"

 

 

This young cow stood motionless at the side of the road, very happy to pose for the visitors walking down to the ferry across to Iona.

And if you don't come across the  real thing, look out for a shop sign.

CowParade is the largest and most successful public art event in the world.  staged in 80+ worldwide since 1999.  The painted cows are displayed in  city centres  to attract tourists and shoppers.  We came across them when on a short break in Warsaw and Prague. 

To end on a colourful note to brighten these grey days:
