We have seemingly interrupted this alert calf during her first nibbles on tender grass. Actually, I initially laid eyes on her during a spring roundup where the calves are brought in from Far Afield for counting and branding. I creatively added the colorful background.

This little group of Flower Girls, though shy, were so eager to make my acquaintance. What great fortune that they had been nibbling on a batch of sweet thistles. A lucky moment caught from a roadside stop.
