Pairs
☆ February 26, 2013
We’ve had a few more calves….
Pictured above is Tino, aka love child.
(thanks for the name suggestions. I’m going with ‘Tino, short for Valentino)
He looked pretty big and full of attitude in his portrait,
but next to his mom, you can see he’s a tiny Tino, at least for now.
Cow moms are the best moms.

these photos gave me chills. not sure if it is the bond between mother and baby, the gorgeous photography, or the stillness of winter. regardless, i love these images. thanks for sharing.

Your farmily is magnificant! Thank you so much for sharing these darling babies, mommas and tales. I appreciate your efforts very much.

I love the backgrounds in the first and last pictures, especially the last. The animals are so dark it’s hard to pick out their features. Beautiful as usual Shreve.

LOVE the colors and composition in the 3rd picture – beautiful!!! Happy you picked ‘Tino was a precious baby he is. Love to the farmily!

Breath taking!!!

Great photos! Love the 3rd one the most.
Tino is a real cutie pie!

Welcome to the world, Tino. You are precious!

Luv the name Tino. I suspect that tiny Tino won’t stay tiny for long.
Those are fabulous photos.

Shreve, looking at today’s Charlie photo, and the first one of Tino, I’m wondering if you wait for the right photo, or take a bunch in a row. Figure you must take aa bunch cuz how could you get the tongue or the sniff of the ground. I know, I know, technique, artistry.

That last image is so compelling: their dark contrast with the snow and huge trees, the cow’s alert posture; not alarmed, just very aware.
February 26th, 2013 @ 2:13 pm
love all three pic’s and the cows too!!! hope you are having a wonderful…you always enrich mine and I thank you for that! :)

I am curious if Tino’s destiny is to be an entrepreneur for star brand beef?
February 26th, 2013 @ 6:58 pm
Just beautiful!!! From someone that lives and loves the desert…burrrr. Nature is wonderful how it equips her creatures to live in all kinds of weather.
Dana—I had the same thought as you about Tino.

it is always such a pleasure to come home after a long, hard day at work and find such a lovely, peaceful, happy story.
I have said it many times,,,you are quite the fabulous artist with your camera.
thanks, Shreve, for EVERYTHING!!

how many are you expecting this season? is there more than one bull or is sir baby the main man?
(they look adorable and i’m sure will be delicious by the way)
February 27th, 2013 @ 6:51 am
What strikingly beautiful pictures! I love the contrast of black animals and white snow.
‘Tino’s name is great! On my grandmother’s dairy farm the main breeding bull was named Valentino. I always thought it such an appropriate name :-)

I want to fill my walls with these photos! Breathtaking!!! — and my first stop every morning after I turn on my computer (even before I take a first sip of coffee).
February 27th, 2013 @ 12:14 pm
Those are amazing shots. I love how they are both so starkly black against that snow. Tino does look like a little guy compared to Mom…
February 27th, 2013 @ 3:09 pm
I especially love the last image. That grove is gorgeous and with mom and baby in the shot… magic.
February 27th, 2013 @ 7:23 pm
LOVE THE NAME TINO haha! Another cow to see grow throughout the years!!

Little bubbas…beautiful…

Very sweet! Love the too graphs – very serene :)

Beautiful pics and beautiful mom & Tiny Tino :)
Thanks!

I do not understand how someone who has such love and respect for cattle can advocate their slaughter. Cows are the best moms. Protective and loyal all the way.

Sir Baby is spooning with the B & W Holstien?
Well, he may have a harem but he obviously has a favorite.
Does she have a name? Or just #1 wife?

I love the negative spaces in these photos! The stark, black forms of the cows against the minimal colours of the background is striking.

Love, love, love these. The background in the first one reminds me of works of art by Bev Doolittle.
