Spent a happy hour this morning in the sunshine photographing half a dozen of my parents’ South Devon cows with their week old calves in the  field. This is my favourite of the bunch. Got home and promptly dropped and broke my lovely, expensive, Canon 75-300 IS lens that I used to take it. Will have to see what the insurers say about it. Such a silly thing. Picked up the camera daybag by the top handle having failed to notice the centre zip was undone and out toppled camera with lens onto the floor. Thankfully the camera itself survived. A long lens is sort of quite a good idea in this sort of situation because even very placid cows like South Devons can get rather touchy when they have very young calves around. A respectful distance is wise with over a tonne of potentially upset mother around.
