Got cow scenery?

Greetings,
I'm new to the board, looking forward to reading all of the cow info. I plan to get one in the future for a pet, have recently found that I really like cows a lot. I am an artist, I have been painting a lot of cows. I can get photos of cows but what I really would love is if some of you that have nice photos of pasture scenery and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd like to have some reference for the background of my paintings. Most of the dairy cows I photograph and paint are in a dairy setting, I substitute the background from other picture references. Got great cow scenery? Please share!

Cow scenery as in just pasture? Hills with trees? Valleys? I've got some photos, I'll see if I can dig them up.

edited to add photos...not sure if this is what you're looking for, but maybe it will help.

I have a few of my own, not sure what exactly you wanted in the pasture. These files are 1600x1200 and about 400-800k in size.

I will look through some other pictures to see if I have any without cows..

Here are some pictures of my house. I live in Madison County, IA, and it's very picturesque here.

Thanks for your pictures. Sorry I was vague about what I am looking for, but you don't always know until you see it. After seeing the house in Iowa, I thought it would really be fun to have pictures of a barn in the distance. That would make an interesting backdrop in a cow painting. That is what I am looking for, a backdrop to put a cow into that looks natural and interesting or lush, whatever you think might look good I'd love to see. Thank you for the pictures so far, I'm going to look at them all again.
