Cows - Montana  2024

Seen from a side road that I was directed to by Google Maps. I slowed down, rolled down the passenger window and took this photo with a Canon G5XII. 

The side roads were supposed to get me to my destination faster, but then there were more photo ops. So, probably not faster at all.

Fence, Rain, Snow - Montana  2024

Cows, Hills, Clouds - Montana  2024

Probably the most dramatic day of the trip, weather-wise. I took a random I-15 off-ramp for the top photo. Raining! I had to dig around in the back seat duffels for my parka. Cold, too.

Same thing (random off-ramp) for the next photo. Had some annoying telephone wires that I had to take out.

Cows (San Geronimo Valley) - Marin County  2021

Mid-morning. As I recall, I noticed these clouds and had to drive over the hill to see if any cows had made themselves available for a photo op. They had!

I used a Nikon Z5.
