Description
The Texas legislature is composed of a 31-member Senate and a 150-member House of Representatives. The state legislature meets at the Capitol in Austin. It is a powerful arm of the Texas government because of its power of the purse to control and direct the activities of state government.
Texas Longhorns are known for their diverse coloring. A longhorn can be any color or mix of colors but dark red and white color mixes are the most dominate. Texas Longhorns with elite genetics can often fetch $40,000 or more at auction with the record of $170,000 in recent history for a cow.
This is a composite image. The Capitol Building and the longhorn were captured at separate times and combined into one image.

I like the way you have repeated the colors in the cow in the building.
David and Carol Kelly replied:
Thank you, Jo-Anne. Those are true colors of the steer and the building is made from Texas pink limestone.
