Christy heard about the art cow parade that was coming to Austin this month and wanted to check it out.  I wasn’t so keen on the idea at first because I’ve had a scary run in with a cow or two.  Cows aren’t scary, you say?  

Well, when you have a herd of cows marching toward you making loud we-mean-business moo sounds and you are armed with nothing but a basketful of blackberries….yeah, cows can be scary.

So, the cow parade is basically a display of around 100  sculptured cows, individually designed by artists (some local).  They are placed all around downtown (and there’s even a cool google map of where to find them) and so one night a couple weeks ago we trekked out to see them.

I brought my trusty camera (Sony NEX-5) along and since our sight-seeing happened to be around sunset it made for quite a neat photo walk.  So below, I bring you the cows (the immobile non-scary ones).
