How now black and white cow

This lady was nice enough to pose for me during magic hour last night. She was very friendly. She tried to kiss my lens.



I think my 40D is broken. I'm getting an Err 99 message and it won't shoot. I'm bummed. I had finally wrangled my way onto the sidelines for DS's football games and it died within the first minute of today's game. Good news is it's under warranty still. But when I went to pick up my Rebel to use as a backup, I got an error message there too! It looks like I damaged one of the pins where the CF card goes in. Maybe it's karma for the hatred in my heart against turtle-children? I hope repairs don't take too long because it's almost leaf season here!

Man,look at the detail! Surprised there isn't steam on the lens. Becky, I love that old door and the acorns in the prior posts. I will have to find some acorns, myself; one of my fave parts of fall.

Love how your sense of humor shows up in your photos. I just got my camera back all cleaned up and fixed again. It took about a week including shipping. Not bad.

Becky that totally stinks about your cameras! Great shot of the cow... very up close and personal! I just checked out yesterday's post as well... Love that old door! Too cool! That shirt is hilarious!

Oh, Becky, what a bummer! I hope you get a functional camera quickly so I don't have to go into withdrawal, missing out on your photos and great writing! I love the cow close-up; are you sure it wasn't the cow chewing on your camera(s) that broke it, rather than turtle-hating karma?

This looks like one of those funny greeting cards! I love it!

SO very sorry to hear about your cameras- that totally sounds like MY luck too. Have you tried taking the battery out of the 40D, and taking the lens off, and cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser? I've heard that dirty contacts can sometimes cause an ERR99. I hope you get it resolved VERY quickly!

I love cows! I had a pet one named Jocko when I was a kid...until...well I don't want to talk about it :(

I hope your 40D isn't broken! Mine has flashed that message before too and I turned it off for a bit and all was good.

cool close up. I love the drooling.

Oh yeah...totally has to due with those turtle kids! You knew it was coming to you. I am sure my day is coming too...so don't worry. I hope your 40D is fixed soon, Love! I need a back up camera so bad. Right now, Liz is my back up camera...and she lives too far away.
