The One That Got Away! by bluemoon

The One That Got Away!

I went down to Wolf Creek hoping to find a Kingfisher or the Raccoon family I saw slip into the cornfield last week but instead I found this little fugitive. The rest of the herd was out in the field but this little calf managed to escape and was alongside the gravel road. I got out and tried to see where he got out but the gate was secure and no place I could see to break out so I went looking for his owner. I finally found the farmer who owned him and when I told him where the calf was off he went to round up the escapee. Hopefully he was reunited with his mom and the rest of the herd. I just used my phone for this since he was too close for the long lens I had on the camera.
Such lovely light and colours in this capture. It looks as if he knows he shouldn't be where he is - that facial expression is classic!

Such a fabulous shot and story, I love the look and bits of grass in its mouth. Well done Paula :-)

That’s one of the beauties of having to cell phone. To capture moments on a whim.

What a cute little guy. I like the white spot on the forehead. This free spirit calf has a surprise look on his face. Great capture and nice of you to locate the owner.

1510 must be glad to be back with the herd. He almost looks surprised you found him.
