Description
Belted Galloway Calf and Giant Birch - It was starting to rain when I came upon this field in the town of Camden, Maine. A small herd of adult Belted Galloway cows (nicknamed "Oreo Cookie cows") grazed to my right. The lone baby was standing directly in front of a giant birch tree! I moved quickly to attach my longest lens to the camera and secure it to the tripod. In my haste to get the shot before the rains spilled down in buckets, I forgot to attach the lens hood. Immediately after taking the shot, the little calf mooed plaintively and walked into the group of adults. The moment had passed. As I put my gear back into my backpack, I saw with disappointment that there were streaks of raindrops on the lens, but hoped my shot came before them. This image has appeared in multiple publications and has made many people smile. I am so grateful that I was able to capture it despite the rain!
