Mother and Child

Our final, very distant view of the new born and her mother. They were almost two football fields away, but with multi extenders I did manage to get a face shot of them together.

The calf turned out to be a red, little girl (probably like her daddy).

I wish we could have stayed longer to see Mama get up again & allow the Baby to nurse for the first time. Unfortunately, we had a 400 mile drive ahead of us. When we left them, Mama and Baby seemed to be doing fine. It is an afternoon that I won't forget.

I have a hierarchy of photo quality, at the top of course is the in focus, ideally composed, perfectly exposed image. At the bottom, but of no lesser value, is an image as opposed to no image at all. There are lots who would have walked away from this as not doable and missed out on this amazing image of the nuzzling newborn and a justifiably tired mom. So the focus is less than ideal, it has everything, and I mean everything else going for it. I glad I came across it. GMV
