Peek-a-boo! Twin calf update...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sweet boy named Andy, just wasn't getting the attention he needed from his momma. It most likely would have turned out fine if we could have corralled them up and kept them in close quarters for a week, but it's just too muddy out there right now. So we decided to take Andy away from his mom and twin sister, Annie, so he can live a good life. Instead of taking on bottle-fed calves this year (which I still love doing), we've decided to give any calf that needs to be bottle-fed to a neighbor farmer that also has fairy cows with dairy cow milk besides milk replacer. They have kids and they are into 4-H and spoiling animals. We brought him there yesterday and he has 3 other calves to play with and learn from. After seeing how the other ones acted more like dogs than cows wanting affection and rubs, I know he'll be well taken care of.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although not the ideal situation, it's still a happy ending for little Andy. Not all calves are able to be lucky like this, but that's why we constantly check the now 100+ calves that have been born so far. Still a ways to go before calving season is over for us...then it will be hay season! Anyone else about out of hay?
Construction, Week 56
Since I was poking around, I decided I might as well go right up to the store and take a peek inside: after all, other people have already been inside training, so why can’t I at least walk on the sidewalk? I took this pic looking in the café window, and with it we can finally say with absolute certainty that this store has the same Marketplace décor package we were expecting (see Meat & Seafood sign, left background). Also, hopefully those are just spotlights above the “beverages” sign, and not security cameras pointing straight at me XD

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Here's our newest visitor. Pocket gophers (Geomys personatus), are commonly referred to simply as gophers and are burrowing rodents. Pocket gophers get their name from their fur-lined cheek pouches, or pockets. These pockets are used for carrying food. However, the pockets on a gopher open on the outside and turn inside out for emptying and cleaning. They have many special adaptations for their burrowing lifestyle, including clawed front paws for digging, small eyes and ears, and sensitive whiskers and tails. Their lips are unusual too. The lips can be closed behind the large protruding, chisel-like upper front teeth, which allows the pocket gopher to excavate soil without ingesting it. Pocket gopher mounds are built of excavated soil. The gophers usually build one to three mounds per day although this rate may vary. One gopher can bring about 2 1/4 tons of soil to the surface each year. Mound-building activity usually is greatest in spring and fall. Pocket gophers are solitary animals that only come together in the spring and summer to breed. Young pocket gophers are born in nest chambers underground. The mother takes care of the young for several weeks before sending them on their way to construct burrows of their own. Pocket gophers generally live less than three years. Most pocket gopher species are relatively common and not of conservation concern. The desert pocket gopher is the most threatened species because it occupies a very small range and is thus more vulnerable to habitat loss. My wife has affectionately named this one, are you ready for this? Joe Dirt!

This will more then likely be my last sunrise image posted for a bit, I got a tun of them, but I really do not want them flooding my photo stream, I look forward to getting to the beach soon! So that I can post those! Any way, over the past few sun rises, I have noticed something, that when the sun does finally peek over the mountains, it gets bright, QUICK! And those first few images are unusable because it makes the foreground blacked out! Except yesterday morning, the fog was dense enough to mute the power of the sun. So, I was able to get a more perfect image on the sun its self. Any way, perfect is such a relative and subjective word. So, perhaps perfect would not be the right word, but hey, I happened to like this any way. This image is a great display on what I meant by areas of dense fog where it became at times unuseable. But I managed to make this one work, all the images around it were not work able. Perhaps the high ISO had a help in this and the "snake" in my back yard the day before because useful after all? Who knows, All I know is that I need many more sunrises to prefect the talent that so many of my flickr friends already have! And that is why I bother with the 365, by years end, I want to be able to know my camera in and out so that guessing is no longer the name of the game! :)
Please, do enjoy!
For this image, I believe the only filter I used was the Cokin soft grad, for the sake of the sun.
The balls of fur with claws have put holes in the screen so Luka can take advantage and peek thru. September 2023
A curious fox pup peeking out from behind a rock to check me out while i took a few photos.
His borthers and sisters had already ran off but they didn't go to far before curiosity got the best and they came back to see what I was up to.
Last day in the old apartment. He always peeked at me like that from the balcony, had to take the picture for postarity.
"There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all"

A young Raccoon peeks at the camera from a fork in the tree at Trap Pond State Park, Delaware. It's mother was higher up but was facing away from me. Since I was shooting from a canoe along the lakes edge, I couldn't get around to get the mother's face but I think the young one was cuter anyway.
I took this large sheet of brown paper that was packing material in something we received and draped it over a couple of cardboard boxes that were already on the family room floor. The cat has been hiding out under there for about a week now!
The Cathedral windows in progress. Just wanted to give you a little peek before the finished product is revealed later. I hope you are liking it partner...

How can I improve this photo? All CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome.
A wee prairie dog peeking over the edge of the cliff. In the background is the canyon of the Palouse River.
I'm not sure how much I told about the glasshouse we are building out of old windows. Anyway, we have been building for more than a year now and it's soon to be finished. :-) I'm so much looking forward to use it !! But of course we have already been sitting there. Having a glass of wine in the glass house was not bad at all...
Happy Friday everyone (and if accepted HSOYF!)!!
Finally that I'm able to upload to flickr after 7th or 8th attempt yesterday night!
I'm still trying and trying very hard to catch up on your stream... busy at work during this period... sigh... i'll see what I can do.....
But thanks all for you visits and comments my friends :)
And a friend has just issued me a challenge not to upload any typical Siam Reap temple/ sunrise/sunset for this set.. well.. I'll try for the next 10 photos, cos otherwise what's Siam Reap without the temple shots right? :p
