When I started to download them later that evening I found a handful of other pictures patiently waiting for me to share – pictures taken over the Father’s Day weekend.  Check out Flickr for new pictures of OFGNi Madison. Tripod the Calf (RIP) wanting feed gets the blog picture (along with FD in the unusual pose – that birds and bees talk may be long over due) tm Continue reading Photo Surprise
