Mama Told Me Not to Come - a photo on Flickriver

Mama Told Me Not to Come

            A group of cows and calves moved through where we were parked next to Loch Slapin where I was photographing lenticular clouds (see previous upload). I would normally want to keep some distance from cows with their calves, but this curious calf wandered up close (perhaps asking for its photo to be taken) - it was followed closely by its mother, who clearly wasn't happy and actually seemed a bit aggressive - fortunately the calf moved off fairly quickly.

Title for the image is from a 1966 song written by Randy Newman for Eric Burdon. It was recorded again in 1970 by Three Dog Night and in 2000 by Tom Jones and the Stereophonics. My apologies if you now have an earworm.

No photographers were harmed in the making of this photograph.
