STOP...Now Freeze!

2025-12-18 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com
A break from December photos, for a pastoral visit with curious cattle, taken in a November quite a few years back.

Robert writes of this photo, "Rewind the clock a few seconds before this photo was taken, and it would reveal these cows charging across the field towards me. Actually, I'm the one, unseen, and frozen; all the while hoping they stop in time and not stampede over top of me."
