General observations, generally during dog walks

Dreary
Dreary, rainy today. All day. But plants are happy. They needed the water.
Sun and rain
Back yard today: sun shining, afternoon rain.
The calf
Neighbor told me about an “underage” cow that got pregnant. Gave birth, but can’t stand or feed herself. Has to be hauled upright with harness and pulleys and chain, milked 2 liters twice a day to feed the calf, here shown two days old.
Something about teeth; as a consequence they (humans) cut grass in our (non-pasture) yard for mama. Not a problem as regards our property. Maybe a gift. What do I know about such things?
The calf: two days old and still bit of umbilical cord hanging. Damn. Huge.
Don’t go there
Beach, Uruguay
First frost 2019
3°C (37.4°F) in the back yard, which never (there I go, tempting fate) gets frost. Beautiful clear sky, as last night.
First frost is apparently a little later than usual this year.
Winter beach, dog, wood
A walk on the beach
There may be a story here … or not.
Pigeon on TV antenna. Yes, weather that dreary.
A dead penguin on the beach.
An appeal to ecological awareness, which caused me to remark how surprisingly free of plastic waste the beach in fact was.
And a surprise: the fishing platform mostly gone – it has been a long time since I walked on the beach.
It always had room for several people … no more.
And Mocha never stopped running the entire time – so many new things to smell!
