This is probably not what you had in mind when you read the title of my today's post. The word "comfort" was my first thought in looking at this photo.
Here is the scenario leading up to the above photo.....
I saw the baby calf taking a nap near a shade tree.
His mother was grazing in the pasture not too far away.
Because I wanted a better photograph, I did this "clucking" sound to wake up the sleeping baby. (naughty me!)
Up popped the calf's head.....
He stood up, looking at me with this questioning look of, "Why are you looking at me?"
On the run....."Mama, Mama!"
Mother's are always close by when you need them.
How about a little privacy.........

Aaaawwww, so lovely. x
ReplyDeleteYes,they are both beautiful, but the mama was not to happy with me.....she snorted at me a couple of times.
DeleteVery sweet photos :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I also enjoy looking at your blog!
DeleteLOL!!!!! so sweet... The sides of all the highways here are "decorated" with pastures FULL of mamas and baby calfs... adorable!
ReplyDeleteThere are also some adorable black ones with white faces I would like to photograph.
DeleteSo cute! I always love looking at your photographs and you always tell the story so well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comments about my bears - it's so exciting knowing that someone so far away is reading my blog!
Thank you, Kirsty....I hope everyone reading our comments today, will take a look at your blog. You are so talented! I love your bears....
DeleteI'm a sucker for cows. I would photography every herd I drive past if I could. Thanks for these!
ReplyDeleteThe two of them were so cooperative with me...except for a snort or two from the mother.
DeleteWhat an amazing relationship between mother and son.. Mother is so proud and son is in comfort. Very nice picture. May I show this photo to my students, when I tell animal behaviours subject in the faculty.? This is very impressive... Thank you very much dear Meggie...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Beck....I am honored that you asked me. I hope your students will enjoy the attachment the calf has for his mother.
DeleteWhat a delightful sequence. They really are a lovely pair.
ReplyDeleteHello Ms Sparrow....They acted out the "scene" just as I was hoping they would.
DeleteJust beautiful- they are such an amazing colour.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that a pink floral envelope dropped through my letterbox at lunchtime today. I spent ages in the garden just looking at the apron through the wrapping. I felt quite tearful (in a good way) to think that it has travelled thousands of miles and that you and Elaine and Susan have all held the apron in your hands. I felt such a connection - maybe that's part of the magic.x
Dearest Scarlet...I'm so happy you feel that way. You deserve a little bit of "magic". Have fun with it!
DeleteYou captured such beautiful moments between mama and baby--truly a Ahhhhhhhhh!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet ...brings back memories.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little fella and great shots! Although, momma doesn't look any too happy in that last photo! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Meggie, beautiful pictures as usual. The calf is so cute xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photographs - and don't they both look in superb condition! Mama cow is only doing what we would do, can't blame her! I am so pleased you did your 'clucking' - there's nothing wrong with his hearing then.
ReplyDeleteRhooooo such a cute "baby"; and such beautiful pictures: I'm so glad you did the "naughty" girl ! ;-)
