Moving Cattle to Pasture
Owl Creek Pass Colorado
A favorite photograph not because it's technically good but because of the memory it recalls. I had just passed the summit heading down Owl Creek Pass Road, when a country girl, with only her dog, was moving cattle down the thick forested road. She backed her horse to my car to ask if I was in a hurry and that she was moving the cattle to a meadow down the road. "Not in a hurry and no worries" I replied. I watched her and her dog skillfully climb up and down the mountain slope to bring in strays and push forward until successfully reaching the meadow. It was a great afternoon of observing someone and their dog who were both excellent at their profession. September 21, 2021. Photo © copyright by Gary Silvey.
