Bob Jensen's Set 3 of Animal Photographs

Set 3 of Animal Photographs

Bob Jensen at Trinity University

One of the favorite photographs of all time from a few years back shows
Scottish cows feeding in the scenic pasture of the Iris Farm about a mile down the road
I always thought this scene would make a good picture puzzle
The Three Graces (often called Cannon Balls) are pictured to the right of Cannon Mountain

This is an Arab mare feeding across from our cottage
She sometimes broke away and loved to feed in our front yard

This is a set of current 2016 animal photographs combined with earlier photographs.
In 2015 Erika and I stayed indoors while I snapped this picture of a bear pulling down our hummingbird feader

When I retired in 2006 I naively hung three song bird feeders on our back deck
The next morning a bear ripped out all three feeders
We never saw or heard that bear in the night

Down the road from our cottage are some apple trees with apples that are left for the birds and bears
Bears particularly like apples late in the season when the apples are fermented
On occasion a bear gets so tipsy that he or she cannot walk and has to sleep it off under the shade of the old apple tree
The picture below shows an apple tree that is a particular favorite of bears
The reason we know this is that under the tree are piles of bear poop

Yesterday there was a fox in our driveway. By the time I got my cameral it was gone.
Daylight sightings of critters like a fox, coyote, Fisher cat, bobcat, skunk, etc. is not common
When a Fisher cat screams it sounds like a soprano in great distress

Sightings of wild turkeys are much more common in all seasons

We have to be careful about open doors, because our fat chipmunks like to run inside

In June 2016 my photographer friend Wes Lavin sent me these pictures of moose and deer
Not all these pictures, however, were taken in 2016

Horney Guys Will be Asking Her for Dates in Foliage Season

Her too

The moose tht showed up at our yard sale

A moose gets very agitated from dogs

I took this picture about a mile from our cottage on Lovers Lane where three horses were feeding

About three miles down the road to the west an old guy named Schmidt raises Belgians

My cousin Don and his wife LaDonna live on Knob Hill Farm outside Armstrong, Iowa
Until recently Don always had horses on the farm
He raised many kinds of horses, but his favorites are black Percherons
A few years back for Armstrong's Centennial Celebration Don Grew a Beard

Don raised all sorts of things from horses to donkeys to llamas to peacocks to cats to dogs etc.

I took these cat pictures in Don's barn.
I don't care much for cats up here in the mountains, because they kill the baby birds and kill chipmunks
Feral cats kill millions of birds in the USA every year

I close with one of my favorite shots that I took at Don's farm

On May 14, 2006 I retired from Trinity University after a long and wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
