So yesterday I had a little alone time while my husband took my daughter to the Barcelona game at Cowboy Stadium. Me time = CAMERA TIME!! Glorious un-interrupted camera time. So I loaded up and headed out to run an errand first....new Tifosi sunglasses from Run ON! Love these sunglasses! Anyway... afterward I was pondering where to wander in the car looking for interesting subject matter when I remembered these bronze cattle I saw a couple weeks ago up at The Shops at Legacy. Who wouldn't want to play with giant cattle statues? Ok...some of you might not, but I love this kind of subject matter since they don't move, and I can set up the shots. Lay on the ground under them, etc. So a little more info...you can find these magnificent creatures on Bishop just off Legacy.
What I discovered that I didn't notice last time was the very cool, very OLD cemetery that is right there. Baccus Cemetery The photos in that link doesn't do any justice for the intrigued it offers now with it's fancy gate, and historical marker. Unfortunately mid day light didn't offer much for shooting within the cemetery, but if you like to wander these places, the headstones are interesting. Dating back to the 1800's.
Without further ado...MOOOOOOOOO!
I'm not sure we saw eye to eye entirely but the detail in these creatures is fantastic!
I'm fascinated by trees, and this seems to be one of my favorite perspectives. Nothing like getting up close and personal with a tree! I think a shot like this with a person peeking over the top would be fun to do. I just gotta find someone willing to climb and peer over.
I kept circling and dancing with this tree until I found where the light could peer down on me. Lens flair...sure, but I think it gives a feeling of a greater beyond. God shining down on us.
This statue was actually a cowboy on a horse roping one of the cattle. I'd show you the other version, but I think this one leaves more to the imagination.
Finally....yes...I was laying on the ground here. The artist who did these is phenomenal. The attention to detail exquisite. Add some sun, a little blue sky, gorgeous green trees, and VOILA! Magic! So much Fun!
