this faux cow sits on Highway 12 on the way from Santa Rosa to Sebastopol on the north side of the highway. it's been there for a few years now and was created by the artist who has sculptures on Florence Street in Sebastopol. the scultures have a cartoony feel to them and are constructed with recycled things.

since this sculpture has been out standing in its field, I've noticed small calves nursing and other cows hobnobbing and cavorting with the faux cow. finally had a camera with me and caught a moment when the faux cow is spending some quality time with a couple of real cows. note the one real cow mimicing the faux cow by doing the same ear thing. also note that one of the cows has pulled off the front chest panel of the faux cow which is sitting on the ground.

double click on the picture for a larger version to see the detail such as the cow hiding behind the faux cow (she went back there and looked from under when I approached with camera).

Sonoma County Art, ya gotta love it - yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaw.
