cattle portraits

Diella asked for some pictures of some of her cattle, so out I went with my camera in hand.

Here are some of the shots I got.

Cornflower...

aka the dinosaur.

cattle are basically just very large dogs.

they have such fun and unique personalities, and they bond just like pups too.

my favorites <3

snowy portraits

Mom has been asking for an updated portrait of me, so this morning Joe and I went out to take photos in the snow with our "church clothes" on. We traded portraits haha, I did his, and he did mine:)

 

first things first- kitty prints! aren't they darling!?

and last but not least, these two goofs taking a picture of themselves with an interesting angle choice ha!

the snow really is lovely, especially when the sun shines and gives that gorgeous back lighting.

If only it weren't so cold!

snow day in march

 We got a surprise snow day... the snowfall started in the morning, and by the end of the day, the ground was covered in fluffy white snow. Almost like we're still in February or something. haha, Indiana can never make up its mind weather wise.

caught the school bus going by after school.

cow pictures in the snow are my favourite.

I always make a point to take my camera to the pasture to photograph them in the snow.

"just a quick photo!"

footprint in the snow:)

my mini model.

Das ended up getting the camera to take pictures of me as well.

She was quite pleased with herself.

The snow was lovely.. I am ready for summer and sunshine, but the big snowflakes were very pretty to watch.. and being able to go out in them without worrying about my lungs was incredible !!

 February recap- the month of sickness, staying home, making art, making music, and letting the cats come in to snuggle.

The longest month so far, even though it was the shortest month.

I was stuck at home for most of it because of sickness..

BUT the Father is still good and faithful, and He makes beautiful things out of ashes.

I got whooping cough..

 my month of February summed up in three photos..

I ended up with whooping cough/pneumonia. In coughing so hard, I burst blood vessels in both of my eyes, and the surrounding areas lol. it was quite the experience.

below is my eyes at their worst state..

not much better, but getting there..

and a surprise photo of Benaiah doing his treatment (or rather,

supposed to be doing his treatment) while his friend is on the phone.

This month of sickness has been bRUTAL, and im still not completely over it, but the Father is faithful to heal, and I know I will be back to feeling like myself so soon! This has been a new experience for sure lol!
