We always go out early on Sunday mornings when we are not rushed to get to work or attend other obligations.
A Bluebird guards her nest nearby
The biggest surprise this past Sunday morning was the birth of a calf..
She is only hours old, still a little sleepy and full of mama's milk
Tess gets a closer look
and gives her a welcoming kiss!
She is a lover, not a herder.
She would rather chase butterflies in another field than to herd cattle!
Our older cattle dog wants her to get up so he can herd her!
One of the jack rabbits on the place trying to sneak away
I think I will use this big mama for my spokes person
for Fat Cow Studio!
She will be having her baby VERY soon!
A mockingbird on the windmill.
I took this photo and the exposure was way off,
I added a few textures from Kim Klassen's collection
and I like the way it turned out!
Until next time!

New calves are great! The only pictures I have taken were too graphic yet to share on my blog. Plus I couldn't get that close because the new mama wasn't too excited about us being there.
Beautiful images!! Thank you so much for posting these!
What a great post! This city boy and live on the ranch with the help of your blog! I hope all is well...it was so much fun spending time with you in Hico. Happy Ranchinga and hopefully we will see each other soon.

Love this post, Cindy! One of my most favorite signs of spring around here is the new baby calves as we pass the ranches going into town.
Your last photo looks like a watercolor. GORGEOUS! :)
Hope you have a great day,

Oh Cindy looks like busy exciting times on the farm. Your photos are amazing. Love the Fat Cow (Studio) :) take care Hugs B
I like the Kim Klassen effect too! Quite nice on your photo.
And can that expectant cow be any rounder? OH MY! LOL
Oh Cindy, this is so magical and enchanting!! The little calf is so precious, look at those big eyes! AND THAT FAT COW is one big MAMMA and she will be the best spokescow for the studio! teeheee.... Wow, I have so much to discover. I love what you did with Kim's collection on your photo! I got Photoshop for my birthday in April and with school, I have not had time to learn to use it. But yesterday was my last day and YIPEEEE I am done. Thank you for coming to take a DIP in those blue waters! Do come back for a romp in Paris thanks to all the participants. COWS are a lovely party of the landscape in France!!! Have a grand day, Anita
Hi Cindy,
Just read your post. Love it! Nature is so wonderful...
There's something magical in a new birth;a new beginning,a new hope. Wonderful.
I've never seen a Bluebird,its beautiful and your picture of the Mockingbird is great. Some of the best results are mistakes.
Well done.
Looking forward to seeing the new arrival from the Big MAMA.
Have a fab weekend

Love the life that
you lead....it's really,

them all day. It's so
relaxing and entertaining,
too!!
Happy Monday, Cindy!
