Father's day




We went to check on our cattle on Father's Day, and i wanted to share these pictures with you. The first one is of a bottle tree, native to our Paraguayan Chaco. It's all full of big thorns, that fall off when the tree gets old. So when we were smaller, we knew never to go barefoot under a bottle tree.

The other picture is one of the newest calves. It's looking for it's mommy. The silly thing didn't realize she was standing close by the whole time.



And another, because it was Father's Day.... No comment necessary:)
