Description
It was raining steadily on the Isle of Skye, one of the Inner Hebrides Islands off the west coast of Scotland. While I'm an avid photographer, I don't particularly like taking photos out in the rain. I had to make an exception to this preference, of course, when I saw a field containing several highland cows who don't seem to mind the rain at all. This one wandered very close to me and some thistle shoots, smelled them for a few seconds, and then took a bite.
Often called hairy coos, the highland cattle breed has a heritage stretching back to the days of the clans. They originated in the Highlands and Outer Hebrides islands and are mainly raised for beef. Their distinguishing features are their long horns and long, wavy, woolly coats.
