Cow poo butterflies...ugh!!!

Was looking forward to the fall season as that is when we have butterflies in abundance. Nothing grabs my attention more than fresh cow patties!!!

No, I'm not nuts...I just remember growing up on the ranch and always seeing butterflies puddling on cow poo!!! Was out there on Saturday and saw gobs of Sickle-winged Skippers, Brown Banded Skippers and White-Patched Skippers enjoying the smorgasboard of cow patties :o)

Here's a few photos. ENJOY!!! ROLF!!!

...you might be a redneck if you take your car to the ranch for a cow-wash!!!

These calves started licking the dirt off my car...had to take this photo for laughs.

Nothing like a Poo pie. lol : )

Lil calves are so cute. I like to watch them when they are frisky and playing with each other. They will kick up their heels, and run with their tails held high. : )

Oh no!!! I love cows (secretly wish I could have one). I love the calf giving the car a bath!! That's excellent!!

Great pics, I think. Love the little calves. Too cute. The butterflies are beautiful. As for the cow poo, well.......

Great pics. Your cattle must make some tasty stuff.

Went out to check the deer poo in our yard but didn't see any butterflies having refreshments there. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow...will keep checking!
