Hiking in spring always means meetings with cattle.
And they are always very curious…especially when dogs are around. In the opener a gang that followed us through their meadow and almost over the fence…
Old farmsteads with apple trees and cherry trees – what could be more beautiful?
Only the cows!

You would have been the most excitement they’d seen all day. I love how curious cows are.
I love it too – but from the other side of the fence!
Hehe, they can be a little intimidating, can’t they.
🙂 They certainly can
Cows can be so pretty.
They can – and scary sometimes when you bring dogs…
I avoid fields with cattle in them, they are so curious that they scare me when they come close, and farmers here often have bulls in the fields too. But your photos are delightful. Though I am not sure I could make it over the fence on those steps! I need a handrail at both sides!
Haha, well, I have immense respect for cows. I know farmers who were killed and one of my dogs (about 20 years ago) ran into a field and got surrounded by cows. I thought this would be the last of her…but my husband went in and scared them off.
I am not good at fences anymore. I have fallen a couple of times when walking the dogs alone, so I avoid trying when I have two dogs on a leash. A double handrail would have come in handy (!)
Keep safe!

So lovely.
♥ Especially when the calves can stay with their mum and dad!
Yes!
Beautiful area to walk. It reminds me of some of the areas of North Dakota, my home state, except we are not known for cattle farms.
Glad to remind you of your home state, John. ♥
What a beautiful setting. Great images.
Thank you, Angela! Nature is at its finest in May here.
Lol. I love this. One of my favorite hikes was near Konigsee . Bavaria. We could hear the cow bells all around us. I was in heaven. And then two cows decided to block the trail. Honestly , we were scared, not certain what they would do. Turned out they were friendly and I have pictures of my husband petting one of them. Thanks for reminding me of that day. I love cows too. Lol. Donna
Well – I am a bit scared as well, especially with dogs around. Glad your experience turned out positive! One of our dogs, 20 year ago, was surrounded by cows when she ran in a field. I thought they would trample her down, but my husband went in and scared them off.
Hahaha. That’s a story on its own.
😀
They are so laid back and yet curious about passers by. We have cows in the field next to where we live. They spend the winter somewhere else and come back in the spring. I am waiting for them to arrive this year. They belong to the farmer next to us.
They are – sort of brings a calm feeling to the pastures and farmland – and me. Hope they will arrive soon!
Lovely!
Thank you!
country scene is beautiful! 🙂
😀
Cows sitting dien = it’s going to rain. BTW, great photos.
Thank you – but is that sentence about rain? Cows in what language?
Sorry typo! Whenever you see cows sitting down on the grass, it usually rains.
♥ ;-D
So lovely and peaceful! Beautiful scenery with cows!
Happy you can feel the peacefulness! Thank you!
Wonderful Ann-Christine!!!
😀
Your surroundings are so beautiful Leya!
I guess you love the same things I do!
So it would seem.
