Hi Evita!!!! Thank you, sweetie!!!

Thanks, Sean … that is what got my attention, too … then I started thinking … lol … always a dangerous thing for me!!!

Thanks, sweetie … you know, as I think about it … this one might not have been one of the one-handed ones … I know the tongue ones are (because my thumb / fingers are in most of those, lol!!!! But I think I’m seeing my elbow in Bossy’s eye .. sooo … I lied??? LOL!!!!!

Nadine … hi honey!!! And thank you!!!! But maybe not, maybe not … I’m thinking I’m seeing my elbow in her eye … I know the tongue shots were one handed … not sure about this one??? LOL!!!

Hey sweetie … thanks … uploaded this one for a challenge … but that reflection really got my mental wheels spinning … lol!!!

thanks so much Sue!!!!! I was pretty amazed at that reflection!!!!!!

Hey Trudy … I know you of all people will understand … I feel like I never really saw anything until I held a camera. Thanks sweetie.

Hey Linda … thank you!!!! This is an odd little shot … there’s a challenge which gave me the excuse to upload this one … but I so totally loved these darling babies!!!! They were so affectionate!!! So … I’m so happy to show off their beauty!!!

Hey John … thank you so much!!!!! thrilled that you liked this one!!!!!

that’s IT EXACTLY!!! Yes I doooo!!!! I’ve had it happen before .. when the lens sees what the photographer does not!!!

LOL … I know … we’re such softies at heart, aren’t we!!!

Thank you so much, Michael!!

Oh, so very much so!!!!! I’m thinking (hoping) these are baby milk cow / calfs (since they were right next to the milkers) ... and if not, please don’t tell me!!! But they all did have such wistful looks on their beautiful faces … and when I saw this shot full size … and saw that truck / car in her eye … well … it just got my imagination going … sigh …

Awww … bless your heart … you saw these darlings, didn’t you??? They were right next to the milk cows …

Aww Vickie thank you so much … a vivid imagination and a too-soft heart can be a bad combination, ya know??? lol

Barbara, what a beautiful way to put it!!!!! I love how you think!!!!! Hugzzz!!!!

Awww … thank you, Steve!!!!!

Hey Kathy!!! Thank you!!!

I sooo agree … I didn’t even see the car / truck until I had it up full size on the monitor. Don’t you just love it when the lens sees what you don’t????? Cool surprise!!!!

Hi Lana!!!! That’s exactly how it made me feel too … as if I’m inside the feelings of the animal!!!!

I swear, Bill, I wish I could take credit for being all clever … but I was just hoping for a good close up eye shot … not a clue I’d get a great reflection like this!!!!! LOL!! As my Dear Hubby says … sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart!!!!!

bless your heart, Malcolm!!!!!!! Sooo glad you liked this one … it was pure luck, believe me!!!!

Hey hon!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Thank you, thank you!!!!!!

Hi Richard!!! Thank you!!!

Oh, Sandra, you are such a darling!!!!! Thank you!!!! But it’s not me … it’s this baby calf … they were all so sweet!!!

Oh, Karon … I knew you of all people would see it … bless it’s baby heart … I’m so so so hoping it’s going to grow up to be a happy milk cow!!!!! Oh, Karon … they were sooo affectionate and sweet … AHHH!! _{you must think I’m crazy, lol} thanks so much for visiting me!!! Hugzz!!!!

LOL!!!! Detlef, no I sure didn’t!!!! The calf’s head was bobbing up and down so much, I was just hoping for an in-focus image!!! This is one of those amazing instances where the lens sees what the photographer does not!!!!

Hello Tamara … thank you so much!!!

thanks so much, Polly … as my Dear Hubby says … sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart, lol!!!

thanks, BigD!! You know it was just a stroke of pure luck … that sweet calf’s head was bobbing up and down and lipping my hand the entire time … I was only hoping for an in-focus shot, nothing more!!!

I hear ya, darlin’. I prefer to believe that these little darlings were being raised to be milk cows. If that’s not the case, I don’t want to know!! And that’s all I’ll say about that!!!! Hugzz!!!

thank you …

Thank you very much!!!
