Such a sweet, sweet picture! Loved reading the story of Fiona’s birth. What a wonderful life you lead!
June 9th, 2011 @ 3:59 pm
Oh so precious!!Been a L&D RN for 27yrs and I believe this maybe the sweetest Mom and daughter picture ever!!!
June 9th, 2011 @ 4:01 pm
Don’t try to convince any of us that animals don’t feel emotion. If that isn’t a portrait of mother love, I never saw one. So sweet!
June 9th, 2011 @ 4:10 pm
Thank you for catching and sharing this sweet moment.
June 9th, 2011 @ 4:31 pm

Brings to mind the song “Baby Mine” from Dumbo! !sniff! and yes many aaawwwws for that perfect perfect picture….Shreve pulls our heart strings again!
June 9th, 2011 @ 4:45 pm
Shreve, thank you for reminding us of the things we so easily forget…
June 9th, 2011 @ 4:54 pm
oh! <3 love.
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:01 pm
Tears in my eyes.
Animals feels just as much as humans, probably even more. I think they are capable of giving much more love, than humans ever can.
Two sweet lovies!
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:07 pm
Yeah, found the photos in “Shop”…duh!
Also CAN’T WAIT for my Etsy shop delivery….beautiful necklaces and THAT calender.CHARLIE and friends!!
Putting it up at my desk at the Library and know I’ll feel happy, when things get shitty at the work. :)
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:10 pm
ohhhhhh! Now I’m confused, in your book you were living in the other “house”… but with cows around and how you describe your surroundings are you back in the cabin???
Dying to know!
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:20 pm
awwww!!!!!
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:20 pm
I want to give that as a mother’s day card next year!!!!
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:37 pm
Awwww & Ohhhh…does Fiona have the same little cowlick that Daisy has? Too cute, love them…
June 9th, 2011 @ 5:59 pm
Holy cow, that’s cute! :)
June 9th, 2011 @ 6:38 pm
So sweet. Mom and babe. Just beautiful.
June 9th, 2011 @ 6:59 pm
oh my, no kidding – a big awwwww and heart melt :)
that is just the sweetest picture.
June 9th, 2011 @ 7:07 pm
I LOVE this picture. There are so many words to describe it. Content momma, content baby. The colors are so rich and beautiful. I envy you and your farmily.
June 9th, 2011 @ 7:19 pm
Such a sweet sweet moment you captured.
June 9th, 2011 @ 8:09 pm
Soooo cute, more than cute, I’m with Patr, I want a print of this…pls. email me
June 9th, 2011 @ 8:14 pm
love her name Fiona…Scots/Irish ?
June 9th, 2011 @ 8:41 pm
I lived on a farm growing up. Never have seen a more loving picture of mom and baby. Made me cry.
June 9th, 2011 @ 9:21 pm
I love your life and I love your farmily!
June 9th, 2011 @ 10:03 pm
This is so, so sweet. It’s like we live out here with all this stuff going on from killing protesters in Syria to a warming Arctic Circle, and here is this wonderful, sweet moment of love (I don’t think that’s anthropomorphizing) between two beautiful creatures. We need more of these moments to inspire us to keep trying to create a better world.
June 9th, 2011 @ 10:20 pm
Daisy seems like a mother’s soul who got lucky enough to spend this lifetime doing what she’s meant to, and being loved for it. Is this the state before one reaches nirvana?
June 9th, 2011 @ 10:42 pm
what a truly special moment thank you so much for sharing the joy of it with us
June 9th, 2011 @ 11:18 pm
Butterscotch and Cream.
Daisy’s eyes closed in ecstasy, Fiona’s posture and expression of sheer bliss, that spot on Daisy’s neck where Fiona fits perfectly, Fiona’s hint of Daisy’s top knot and those beloved red eyelashes… the perfect picture of peace and love.
June 10th, 2011 @ 3:31 am
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH !!! CUUUUUUUUUUTE !!! I want to live in campaign to see cutees like them !
June 10th, 2011 @ 5:51 am
What makes me happiest about this picture is that Daisy gets to keep her Fiona and be a mom.
Doesn’t Daisy have a little bit of red/rust in her topknot? She clearly passed that on to her beautiful daughter. I bet they both smell really good in the sunshine.

What an adorable picture. It melted my heart and made me say aaww! :)
Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Must have seen a million pictures of cows with new calves….This is more intense and beautiful than any.
June 10th, 2011 @ 11:48 am
Adorable – even better that these two fortunate cows are escaping the suffering & slaughter that so many are subjected to.
June 10th, 2011 @ 11:49 am
Both look so blissfull and absolutely at peace with each other and the world. Fantastic picture. It does warm one’s heart! Thanks for capturing it and for sharing it!
June 10th, 2011 @ 12:26 pm
Daisy looks like she is in ecstasy.
June 10th, 2011 @ 4:53 pm
Awwww…..
June 10th, 2011 @ 8:48 pm

Mmmmmmmmmm……..bet she smells just like a new little baby cow. What a beaut!
June 11th, 2011 @ 2:29 pm
sooooo very precious…
June 12th, 2011 @ 1:22 pm
re your last tweet: we really, really need a video of Fiona galloping.
June 13th, 2011 @ 8:54 am
They must both be lying down, or else that calf has grown A LOT, lol. Sweet pic, thanks for sharing it with us.
June 13th, 2011 @ 9:45 pm
Beautiful moment between Mom and baby :o)
Noticed you have been mentioning an adventure so I can’t help but wonder who will care for the entire farmily the way you do and how will Charlie and all cope with you gone :o(

Received my 2 prints 2 days ago – better than imagined – thank you!
