Description
Breaking through the very bottom layer of clouds, the sunset glowed for a few minutes. I literally had to run a herd of cows out of this scene. As I was setting up, the curious herd began to assemble and run my way. I ran right at them...yelling and waving my hands. They retreated a bit, but I could tell they would soon return. Cows are very curious by nature and a photographer out on the prairie is just way too tempting. So within a matter of minutes they were back in my scene again. I repeated my frantic chasing routine a couple more times and then finally left them to their grassland.Related content

It's like the sun's rays are giving the daisies a goodnight kiss before setting.
A great shot you took. I love the story of the cows.
Just looking at it make me miss the Southwest. I've visited there many many times. I know there's no big mountains in this pic but it has hills so you get the picture (no pun intended

Aww. 
It doesn't matter whose photo it is, it will make me miss certain places I've been to.
I've never been to Kansas.
You're welcome.

Stunning capture here, Judd. I love how the colors of the sunset light up each flower. And the story of the cows is awesome. The mental pic I have from it makes me giggle.

I think I'll stick to photography! I don't think I have the patience for herding stubborn animals around.

Interesting story about the cows.....funny thing is though the last time I encountered them on a shoot they were very cautious during me and made sure to stay out of my way. Luckily one of them stayed within the scene to complete an image I made that day.
