…of Hadley, Massachusetts:
This gruff-looking bull watched me carefully as I approached with my camera. He was, after all, just being a protective Daddy, but I wasn’t displeased to have a stout fence between him and me.

This little guy is just getting his legs under him:
Sorry ’bout the fence, but I had Gizmo on the box and getting close enough to shoot through the fence wouldn’t have given my the Whole Calf. I’ll try to get back there while the newborn are still small, and I’ll bring a range of lenses.
The fence is not an issue. You can clearly see the bebe. I don’t know if you can count on that fence to protect you. Big beasties they are.
Eileen, I thought of that. A LOT. And I sent lovey-vibes their way, with what I perceived to be discernable results. I figure, they just need to know that I’m OK, and on their side, and love their beautiful bebes.
That baby is so new I can still see his umbilical cord. Those are great shots, CR.
