I posted some of my favorite photos from today in my Farm Animals photo gallery. Amazingly enough, most of the animals were well behaved today. Eddie was a very "helpful" donkey and wouldn't stay far enough away from me for me to take very many photos of him! I did catch him talking to me though. His bray is so cute!
Alan and I got the cows and donkeys in all the right pastures, and thankfully we didn't have too many issues. Most of them will do anything, or go anywhere, as long as they think they're going to get some alfalfa cubes. Here's Alan leading Eddie, Jackie, Molly and Muffin from one pasture to another. The white bucket holds the "magic". Mmmm, cookies...
Last night while we were moving some of the cows, Pixie tagged Alan's leg with a kick. His pants still have the mud print to prove it! I told him I needed to get a photo and blog about it. Here ya go, girls! Haha!!
We've got all the pregnant cows in one pasture, closest to the barn, so that when it comes time for them to have their babies we don't have to worry about the donkeys or bulls injuring the calves. And we'll get to love all over them too, which is always nice!
I love the farm animals! Eddie is so cute!!

Oh, I'm in love with Eddie. He is the CUTEST! I can't wait to see baby calf pics. They are so adorable when they "horse" around and play:)

Your photos make me what to step up my picture taking skills - if that's possible for the equipment that I have?!?
I love the picture of Eddie and his flaring nostrils!!! You can just hear his donkey noises coming out of the monitor!

I just ADORE your donkeys! They are so cute! Your photography is amazing. You make me want to grab my camera and run outside and just capture the world around me.

Loving the footprint picture, too funny. Makes me think of all the time that I help my DH feed the dogs, and I end up with perfect pawprints on my back!! Love the picture of the donkey"talking" too funny!!

OH MY!! I didn't realize your donkeys were miniatures... that is what we raise. They are just the sweetest animals alive! And yes... if they even think there is a chance for a treat at the end of a walk... they will follow, ours is carrots, if they see orange - you had better hand them over or you will HEAR the complaints for hours! Great photo!
BTW... that is why my blog is

Beautiful, beautiful photos, Anna! I LOVE them. You are an awesome photographer. Does Alan have a bruise, that looks like it was a hard kick? TFS

Your pictures remind me of growing up on our farm in Minnesota. I dont know if I can say I miss the work but I definetly love the pictures and memories!

Anna,
I'm not usually a big fan of farm animals, more of a city girl. But I have to tell you that you have captured a side of these animals that is simply stunning and beautiful! I went over to your farm animals album and my jaw just dropped. Thanks for giving this city girl a new attitude about all these cuties.

I just love looking at your farm photography. That photo of Beavis cracks me up. He looks less than thrilled to be having his photo taken. So funny. TFS. -Molly B

They are all so adorable. (and Alan too) Your photos are amazing, Anna! I am still stunned by the rooster in front of the crappy metal on the barn (crappy is the way to go!) I couldn't have painted a better background if I tried. I look forward to many more animal photos. Happy Easter. Hugs, Janet in nc.
