Say moo!

We spent some time in Vermont at the end of school vacation week, visiting the cousins (not pictured here, these are just friends of the family), gathering eggs, feeding sweet clover to cows and playing in lots and lots of snow.

These girls loved the attention from our little guys, but didn’t know what to make of my camera.

Some of them were better than others at posing.

Some even figured out how to pose and eat at the same time.

Will is actually not feeding Henry to the cow, it just looks that way.

Henry would have climbed in there and stayed all weekend if he could have. He left wanting to pet them and milk them.

But the lure of the mountain dragged them away. And their dad.

I think he’s saying there is a LOT OF SNOW!

Bye, bye, Vermont family, thanks for the visit and we can’t wait to come again soon!

P.S. If I had to pick a best shot, I’d go for the extreme nostril closeup. how about you?

    I go for extreme nostril too. I can’t believe that there is still snow out there. It will be 80 here tomorrow.

    I LOOOOOVE your b&w shots of the cows. The first one is so sweet.

    I’m not used to seeing these kind of photos in the World of H&W – had to make sure I was on the right page! You do animal pictures just as well as portraits. #2 is my pick for BSM. Or maybe the last one, just because I haven’t seen that much snow in…well, I don’t know how long!

  12. Chelle Says:

    Please make the extreme closeup into a floating cow head closeup. So classic!

  13. Maya Laurent Says:

    Those black and white photos are just hilarious!

  14. Chrissy Says:

    Oh wow, great shots! I love cows, haha. The snow looks like a lot of fun. Although we’re headed to warmer weather tomorrow and I can’t say I’m going to miss New England too much next week. 🙂

    Wow, animal shots! These are great and looks like it was a great time, too. 🙂 Love that first shot – cows do have personalities. 🙂
