I've been absent this week because I'm drowning in work. I can't seem to get caught up. It just keeps coming and coming. I'm thankful that my work drought may be over but come on, people, I need to get back to my blogger friends! I took the afternoon off - not to go out with my camera, mind you, but to get much needed provisions. On my return home I noticed this longhorn bull appeared to be fighting with a donkey at a ranch I pass by frequently. I've never seen livestock in this spot so maybe they were just allowed in a different area for grazing now that the grass is greening up. Well, I just had to get a picture of that donkey fighting with a longhorn. I had a feeling it would come up on the losing end. By the time I got pulled over and parked and out of my truck, they were peacefully grazing together. I guess they were just having some playful sparring. I wouldn't want to be wrangling with those horns! As I took a couple shots I was reminded of the Grant Woods American Gothic painting. I've seen many parodies of the farmer and his wife but never longhorns in that role.
I'll be back tomorrow with another Caption This but will probably then return to my cave to get more work done!

That's one horny pair.
The perfect pose for you. That spotted one is beautiful.
Amusing comment, Randy. Neither horny or randy, I'd guess! (Groan!)

What a great title. No pitchforks needed. Ha!
WOW!! Great photo!
They are beautiful! I like the way they are looking right at you.
I don't know what is up the stairs in my picture today. I think it's apartments. I have never ventured inside The Big Easy bar either.
I do see the parody here. I love the looks of these longhorn cattle.
love the comparison! :) what a great looking couple!
I love the way they just look at you. Like they have a secret!
Kathy, that is priceless picture. Love it, love so much!
They are beautiful!
They are a pretty pair indeed and I really loved the little brown spotted one.
I thought you were retired, what the big hassle about work!

I love longhorns...nice photo
I love how they have posed for you!
The longhorns look great. But where is the donkey gone?
Slow down Kathy! You know breakneck speed is not good for you!
Liebe Grüße,

I hate drowning in work...it gets in the way of all the fun.
Love your name for this post! It is truly Texas Gothic! Glad the donkey wasn't hurt. They all must be feeling "their oats" as they say! :-)
Love me some bull pics!
Got horns?
