Love the tail! Great shape and texture.

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!
Hugs, Sandy

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

I especially like the effect you did for the second photo - it's like antique photograph from like my grandparents' days! Beautiful B&W Rosa!!

Jeanne said...

Mooooooo! I love that the Swiss cows REALLY DO have cowbells too!

Helene Dsouza said...

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!

Munatycooking said...

Both are pretty, but I like the second one more. Love the effect you've given it, feels like it came out of a very old album. Beautiful!

Angie's Recipes said...

Delicious Shots said...

I so love the old tractor. My father in law has an old tractor that I love taking pictures of. He always thinks I'm weird... "Why does she take pictures of my farm equipment!??"
