Half Pint
We have a twin calf. She’s tiny. She’s cute. She’s always hungry. Her name is Half Pint. I’d like to introduce you to her. Half Pint from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
A Growing Collection
Through the years, I’ve given most of my pysanky eggs away… to teachers, friends, family. I’ve always heard that if you give your first creative attempt away… then those “Muses” or creative spirits will come back to you and help you in future attempts. I continue to give most of these eggs away… evidently I…
Consistently Inconsistent
Although the day started cold… 27 degrees… by noon it was 50 or so… a gorgeous spring day in Wyoming! We are having many calves everyday… today we had 14! Vernon figures we are over halfway done and on the downhill slide. YAY! This time of year is always full of hard work for Vernon…
Same Color
Thanks for the tips on my watermark difficulties… I will try them! Anything to keep me from sitting here in front of my computer quite so much would be extremely welcomed! I need to automate the entire process, and there is probably a way to do it… Changing the dpi… resizing… adding a watermark and…
Sigh
Really. After one day of playing with my watermark, I now can’t get it to work. And no, I wasn’t going to leave it black, I actually wanted it to be a clear watermark… barely indistinguishable… but! whatever I’ve done to it, it doesn’t want to apply itself to my photos tonight. <sigh> A computer…
The New Toy
The New Toy After doing this blog for over two years (!) now, I know how many of you appreciate Wyoming’s scenery and my ranch photography. I’m thrilled you think my snapshots of rural life have beauty and meaning. For a long time I used my Olympus C-700 which had a great zoom for its…
Wordless Wednesday- “A Rancher’s Abandoned Steed”
The Wordless Wednesday entry for today is: “A Rancher’s Abandoned Steed”
Hello, Everyone!
Again a day of calving and vaccinating… it was pretty much a ditto day for yesterday… One question was posed about yesterday’s activities… “How do you know which heifers you’ve already vaccinated?” Which is a great and legitimate question. One that just points out where I fail in describing our ranch and everyday actions. Glad…
Rust Colors
Today was spent checking for newborn calves and vaccinating some of last year’s heifers for various illnesses that cattle can get these days… BRSV, lepto, BVD, IBR, and PI3. Confused? Yeah, that’s understandable. Basically it covers them for many viral infections that can mess with their pregnancies (though they aren’t pregnant yet) or give them…
Bottle Baby
Guess what I’m doing? Wow. Good guess. We have a little bitty calf born to one of our heifers… He’s super tiny and his momma doesn’t have much for a bag (in other words – she might not be giving much milk) … so we’ve decided to supplement his daily allowance. There you are… come…
Nice, Kitty, Kitty
Last year’s entry about today’s event was labeled “Herding Cats“. In it, I elaborated how much moving baby calves was a painful, frustrating process which let me lose my temper and get disgusted at anything with Angus blood and 4 hooves. And a few other moving things… Today’s version was… not like that at all!…
