Ugly, but beautiful in their own way ... yes, that they are. They are very striking, much larger than we somehow anticipate them to be, and although rather awkward and ungainly in some respects, can move muchmore quickly than a person and can be at full stride within a few steps ... the cows are far more volatile and dangerous than the bulls if their calves are nearby
Interestingly enough, other creatures are sometimes a bit less than attractive as well ... I'm thinking specifically of an incident just a few years ago that took place within a few feet of where the moose is walking in that pic that Rick was nice enough to put up after I'd had trouble with it ... I was sitting with my youngest son and my nephew when we saw a rabbit hopping through the brush ... just as my nephew commented on the "bunny", a very large and nasty looking bird swooped down, grabbed the "bunny" and began turning him into the "late Bunny" ... think of the roughest, toughest looking biker you ever saw, that was this big bird ... my poor nephew, in an effort to save the bunny, threw a rock at the bird, but the stone bounced off the bird's back much like a bullet bouncing off Superman and the bird just slowly turned his head, giving us the most evil-eye stare you ever saw ...
It was with a little surprise that I realized that the very mean, tough, nasty looking bird was an American Eagle ... beautiful, but ugly in his own way, you might say ...
