Description

tripod, ISO 400, f/11, 1/60 Happened by early morning on my way to capture early morning light. Saw these two in a pasture by the road and turned around and came back. On closer look through the telephoto, it was obvious this mother had just given birth and I was witnessing the baby's first steps! A great feeling to be there early in the morn with no other cars passing by. Just me and them!!

Hello, Wendy, Linda, Stephanie and Lori! Thanks for the comments. I hope I put this in the right category! Isn't it funny? I usually never turn around once I see something that would make a great photo! Always my loss, I know. I'm glad I took the time this time!! #1295138
