Desert Cows!


Visited my second ever desert today - the Mojave Desert.  It was WINDY!  And not as hot as the Painted Desert was.  Driving out of the National Preserve I spotted this foursome literally on the side of the road.  Some were standing, some were laying down, but all were nomming away on the brush.  By the time we had the car turned around and in position for me to hop out and take this picture, they had all stood up to look at us.  The one on the far left was very spooked by us and bolted pretty quickly.  

So to sum up, what I have learned about deserts is:  1. it rains and 2. they have cows.  Who knew?
