We were driving through the tiny community of Kirkland, about half an hours drive
West of Prescott when I these beautiful Brahman Bulls, or Brahma Bulls, as cowboys and rodeo folk usually call them, placidly grazing on early spring grass. A click will give you a sense of their power and lovely smooth coats. 
These are the same breed as the sacred cows of India, and you can read about them here.
I don't know if these guys are rodeo bulls, or not. It's more likely they're waiting to meet some nice lady cattle.
The same day we saw this nice patch of Owl's Clover. A member of the snapdragon family, Owl's Clover, like Paintbrush, is parasitic, living off surrounding grasses. This is probably Orhtocarpus luteus. It's a joyous pink and if we have a wet enough winter and early spring, lavishly spreads a brilliance of color across the western prairies.
Apparently, no one knows just why it's called Owl's Clover. That lore has evaporated into the mists of time, like so much of both history and legend.
