Bull

It is not a surprise that you don't see any goats, horses or other creatures in this pasture.  I also kept a  safe distance, on the other side of a barbed wire fence.  I don't mess with bulls.

Julie's family has had a ranch in Navajo County, Arizona, since the 1880's, when they arrived in covered wagons.  A bull on their ranch trapped Julie's brother in the house not too long ago, when something upset the bull.  Every time her brother tried to come out of the house, the bull acted like it was ready to charge.

This week we have photos of Bhutan, featuring Buddhist festivals, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

  1. Your family has an interesting history with bulls, but, David, I hope that it's just not a lot of bull.

  4. No, you don't want to mess with bulls, that's for sure. I like the stark contrast between the green grass and the bull's color.

  5. This is a fine looking bull. Smart to keep your distance. Love Kate's comment, and yes it is a true story. My son called me as this was taking place. The moral to this story is Close all gates tightly!
