Cows in the mist. I wake at elevation in the "banana belt" and for today's run descended into the cloud and fog to say hello to these beasties on Green Valley Road. Once again, I felt reticent leaving the dejected dog behind, but a runner must run - lives depend on it.

A bunch of cows in a dewy pasture with mist all around. Trees and a structure are barely visible in the back.

Neighbour calves not loving the cold wet- one looking like the starry void! We were forecast 10-20cm of #snow Sunday through Monday- we got a bit of rain Mon afternoon, turned to rain/snow melting on the ground, eventually started turning white outside early evening. Maybe 5-8cm on the ground this morning (those views to come). Lots melted, lingering in shade. Great moisture for spring renewal.

A young Black Angus calf seen through a fence- one blurred wire crosses our view of his body. He is standing sideways to the camera, looking left, head down to the ground- a bit of grazing or hay eating or tasting the wetness/snow? It is snowing and we can see the white dots of snowflakes across the image, but especially against the near perfectly black body of the calf - making it seem almost like looking into a starry black sky. The ground is low grazed and trampled dry grass, with bits of scattered hay and straw piled to the right. Low mounds/clumps of manure are here and there. In the background is a faded grey wooden board fence behind an area of darker ground- trampled dug up earth and manure.
A small wet looking black calf pokes its head up from where it is lying in a large mound of straw, looking directly at the camera. the rest of it is hidden apart from a bit of its upper back. Behind is a grey weathered board fence. It is snowing and we can see the falling dots of white, especially against the fence and the calf's head.

#MonochromeMonday (I *took* the photos on the right day!).The earliest spot for me to see poplar catkins + one of few places with low branches is along the road allowance beside the acreage- sheltered southern exposure. This is next to where the neighbours' have #cows with/expecting #babies . #cute #curious #calves but #mommas are not trusting- trying to stay between me and babies- but the little ones come up to the fence to see what I'm doing

Black and white photo of a cow and calf on the other side of a barbed wire fence in overcast light.The calf is very young, maybe a couple/few weeks at most, and is mostly black with bits of white on its ears, a couple of patches on its forehead, a small one at the top of its nose and a bigger one under its 'chin'. It has approached the fence to see what I'm doing a handful of metres away, but the cow (I don't think she's the mother as I saw her with another calf a short time before) who I suspect is a first time mother and she is not large, has turned her head to nudge the calf back and away from the threat (me). Only her head and a bit of neck is in the photo. She has a classic white face with a bit of darker around the eye, and we can't tell in the BW photo, but her body is red. The background is low dried grass, with taller grass and saplings along the fence/gate in front and along the wooden board fence behind.
