  3. You caught real treasures, Rosa! The tail picture is funny and I think about how you took this photo - a super tele-lens ;-)?
    Nicely done!

  19. I am always happy, to see cows, armoured with curved horns. Nowadays more than 90% are hornless in Switzerland.

  25. I think so my first comment never came through...

    ok again.

    wow I love the detail your new cam captures. Its ncie to be able to look at picture in peace and discover things we never saw earlier. I forgot how harry our european cows are. lol

    The tractor reminds me of my grandmother, she used to roam around with one just like that before. She was a tough woman...

    Rosa, I always appreciate your inspiration and work, I support your artistic talents in all ways!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Loving both photos, the second one is my favorite!
