New wide-angle lens and cow photo shoot

Our favourite site last shift was in the middle of a pasture with curious cows who came up to site centre and started licking our equipment.  They hung around us the rest of the day as we worked, grazing as close as they dared, so that I'd look up from my soil sample or plant plot to see a gentle face watching me, and wondering if she could eat my flagging tape.  While dragging the heavy cattle cages that protect our wildlife cameras through the pasture back to the truck at the end of the day, I came across this dilapidated barn, where all the cows were taking shelter from the heat.  I had to return with my camera for these friendly bovines.
