Saturday morning, when my nephew came to pick up the little boys for the sale, he brought Maxine and her baby, Firecracker Joe, home. He turned them out to pasture, and they both seem quite happy out there.
I love my busy, busy evenings of checking on the cattle and making sure none of the new little kids get left behind.
It’s my favorite time of day to take pictures too.
Linking to Tuesday Muse and Mandarin Orange Monday.
Edit: I’m so far behind in visiting blogs I didn’t know about the wonderful new meme hosted by You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out called Song-ography. This first week’s song for inspiration is Homeward Bound.

so adorable. Happy cow appreciation day!!!!! 🙂
Thanks. Maxine is certainly happy to be home, and Joe was running around.
oh, joe looks so big already! yay for getting them home!
He’s so tall! When he moves, you can tell he’s still really young.
Firecracker Joe sure is a handsome guy! Love the coloring…I thought I was always partial to black, but I might be changing my mind! What are your plans for him?
He was banded. 😦 Someday, he’ll disappear and then I’ll get a check in the mail. I supposedly already agreed to this. That way I can’t make any stupid emotional decisions this fall.
Firecracker Joe – good name! Cute!
Well, he was born on July 5th. 🙂
That second pic of their heads together is adorable x
Joe was really wanting to get his mom to play with him. It makes me wish I had another calf to keep him company and play with.
The evening light makes for some beautiful pictures! 🙂
Thanks. It’s my favorite time to go out and take pictures.
The babies are so adorable. I want to nuzzle one!
He is a sweet boy! He does like his attention.
Çok seviyorum sizin bloğu seyretmeyi. Çiftliğiniz çok güzel..
teşekkür ederim
Joe and Maxine head to head – so cute!
He was really loving on his mom. 🙂
The whole series is so warm, calm and beautiful. The subtle changes from orange to grey in your MoM entry are fantastic. I also really like the one above it with the patterns of grass across it.
Thank you so much for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Thanks. I love the warm light in the evening to photograph the animals out in the pasture. 🙂
In my next life, I want to have the name Firecracker Joe. Or Joann, depending on how it turns out. They are lovely!
Thanks, Stacia! Since he was born on July 5th, it seemed like a good idea.
Can I tell you how much I adore tht golden light and how it illuminates the ear and face in that first shot?!? Brilliant capture. So glad they are back home :). So appy you were able to join in on Song-ography this week ;). Hope to see you next Sunday for James Taylor’s “Up on the Roof”!
This is such a wonderful idea for a linky party! I love it. The evening is my favorite time to go out and shoot the animals because of that golden light. 🙂
Adorable photos !
Thank you, Gattina.
Awww — welcome home! Lovely captures Teresa. 🙂
Thanks, Nancy. I’m glad they’re back.
Nothing… NOTHING.. melts my heart more than the face of a cow. Well, perhaps a goat but cows really do call to me. Good to find you here through Song-ography! And to see that you’re in Iowa.. spent 10 years in Clive where I grew to love the rural countryside. And no, people, Iowa is not flat as a pancake. Trust me, I rode my bike on many a trail! Have yet to do RAGBRAI but maybe someday.
RAGBRAI is next week! I certainly have to agree that Iowa isn’t flat. Glad you stopped by.
The lighting in these photographs is wonderful…Nothing better than the end of a day to get that warm light….
Thanks, Nancy. It is my favorite time of day to go out and photograph the animals.
It’s such a nice time of day to take photos. It’s wonderful that Maxine and Firecracker Joe are happy!
I’m glad to have them back home and see the little guy out there running around.
I shall NEVER eat cow again. He is stunning!
I quit eating meat ten years ago. 🙂
