The setting sun provided some pretty light this evening, so I popped outside with my camera and took some photos. Here are two that I like!
Curly was laying on the hood of the tractor watching the world go by until I showed up. The wind was whipping her L O N G whiskers around! I was only able to get a couple of photos taken before she decided she'd had enough. She's a little on the wild side.
And this is Lucy, our little red calf. Isn't she just a cutie! Edited to Add: Lucy was born July 11, 2007. So, she's not a baby... but she's pretty small, and still has some growing to do.
The light from the setting sun was on her, making her look awfully pretty! We're excited for her to get old enough for having babies of her own. We're hoping she gives us more little red haired cuties! She's the smallest cow on the farm. To give you an idea of how tall she is, her back is about mid-thigh high. She's not very tall. But one of these days her horns will grow in long enough that she can boss ol' Ribeye around. He's the next smallest cow on the farm, standing maybe waist high. Maybe. Edited to Add: Ribeye was born April 11, 2007.
I think it's funny how the grass in the pasture looks like a golf green! We didn't mow it ... it's just coming up for spring. I love seeing the green!
I really enjoy your photography...thanks for including it here even though you have another website for it. It makes my day to see a gorgeous nature photo especially when I am not expecting it!

I love your pretty red cow! She is so petite and looks so sweet. Your kitty is gorgeous, too. He looks like he would be so cuddly if he would let you! Thanks for sharing your photos of life on your farm with us. You have such a talent for capturing the beauty in everyday things.

I love your photos Anna! Seeing Curly with the blown whiskers is so cool!
I have never seen a COW that small! I thought it was a calf. But Lucy is beautiful!

I love taking photos of our miniature donkeys that time of day. It is a beautiful coloring to the photos! Your photos are beautiful.

Wonderful pictures. I grew up in Texas and I'm not sure that I ever saw a cow that small. She's a cutie! Thanks for sharing.

Aside from the fact that the pics are gorgeous, I am just plain ol jealous of the GREEN, GREEN grass! Still under major snow, I would still take dead brown grass at this time!

Anna, Curly is gorgeous and has the sweetest face. Lucy is darling as well. I so love it when you post farm critters.

Stunning pictures!! The cat looks like my son's cat except for the color of the eyes.
Posted by: Irene | March 15, 2008 at 03:30 AM
Curly is THE most gorgeous kitty I've ever seen but are you sure she's a she ? Aren't the orange cats usually males ? I'm not sure where I got my info but every orange cat I've ever seen has been a male .Lucy is pretty cute too ... calves always have the most beeeeautiful eyes ! What I can't get over is how green it is where you are . We're in southern Alberta where the sun shines alot and it's nowhere near as green here.

Oh, what gorgeous pictures! I have a kitty with really long whiskers too, but I don't believe I've ever seen then blowing in the wind! Awesome! Lucy is just beautiful, it's hard to imagine how small she really is...she has to be TOO CUTE! Thanks for the great pictures, you are my favorite photographer on the planet!!! :D

As always Anna, your photos are beautiful! I love the bright expression on your cat, and the calf is just gorgeous in what I assume is a beautiful orange sunset.
