Sweet photos! Is this early for calving? Nice to see a harbinger of spring!
The sweet baby cow...cute! :)
It seems early to me...they're expecting another calf any day now, too.
I was just reading your little tribute to your Grandmother...I just did the same on my blog, as I was writing away, I thought how much I missed the gentle talks we used to have and how much I miss her these 8 years, 93 when she passed on!
Cows are truly the most pleasant beasts to photograph...they just pose...naturally.
Have a great day friend!

I love the quote from Dickens! Aside from the cows, I often dream of "running away" to the country!
Great quote and such sweet pictures of these babies!
Very, very sweet babies!
If the weather keeps you indoors, a few movie suggestions, grand stories, all. "North And South" - the 2004 BBC production, lavish production values, fantastic story and part takes place in the Crystal Palace. "Dr. Zhivago" - 2002 British mini-series (not the 1960s version), again, stunning visuals, out of this world costume drama. "The Impressionists" - a dramatization of the lives of the great painters and their friendships with each other - lovely. "The Buccaneers" - a 1995 Masterpiece Theater effort, very well done. They're all available through Netflix - enjoy!
Thanks for the movie list!
I just love calves! I love their big, soft brown eyes...instant love!
Awww! Aren't the calves cute?
Awwwwwwwwwwwah!
Naw, how cute!
Yes, yes, yes!
Ad chickens too
and a pig and a donkey.
It would be so glorious.
in fact it would be (word verification CHIPTAL)
Chiptal sounds capital and chipper
Did you see Willow's post yesterday about word verifications?
All best wishes
I am such a city girl, but WT grew up in Kansas surrounded by cows. He certainly has a soft spot in his heart for them and always talks about how friendly and gentle they were.
oh my goodness! So sweet. I was a city kid through and through, but saw a calf born at a country dairy farm with an ice cream shop attached...and wow. It was something.
Pretty little cow here. Cute!
Adorable! I just love cows, and couldn't agree more with the first quote. They are such gentle, sweet souls.
What fantastic pictures. They look so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
sooo cute!!
: )
Adorable! I will have to show these to Berry...
ahhhhhh....too adorable! xo t
i think you said it all... awww : )
January seems like such a cold month for baby animals! I feel so guilty about the chickens; their water keeps freezing over.
BTW, I like your self-portrait. Very distinguished reading glasses.
I used to drive by a field with cows on my way to work and practically wreck my car looking at the new calves. What a sweetie!
Oh my ... I do like cows, from a distance.
oh wow is that ever cute - I'm rethinking eating meat again...
just nice to welcome the lunar year of the OX - 2009.
Adorable!
Just tried leaving a comment before but I was removed from the page. Weird. And rude! ;D
Just the sight of them makes my heart immediately soften. Precious creatures.
ok...i initially though the cow was a bear,
"awww" is right. i always love seeing animals (and people, too, he he!) care for their young.
I have always loved cows too... and 2009 is the year of the cow - woo hoo!
