One of Those Books

The other day I was on Bonnie Mohr's website, www.bonniemohr.com. She is an artist and author in Minnesota. I've purchased some of her note cards and art work in the past. She draws of rural America, especially cows. I noticed she'd written a children's book, and I was interested!

 

Some words from her website:

"From her peaceful, rural American paintings to her poetic and inspirational images she creates, the artwork of Bonnie Mohr 'speaks for itself.' With a passion for living life to the fullest and a love for the country life that surrounds her, Bonnie’s oil paintings, steeped in rich earthy colors and a charming 'realism style,' are a true reflection of this artist's heart."

She is known as America’s most loved and acclaimed bovine artist. Her art has since matured and developed, from capturing cows and rural, American country scenes to creating and writing poetic, inspirational paintings that tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling full.


This children's book, "Once There Were No Cows," is dedicated to the dairy farmers of America, of which her husband is one. The book is written specifically for children of dairy farmers and promotes the life they live.

Of course, other children will love it too, as she writes about creation and "how the journey of a lifetime began . . . and why God created the cow."

Pull her up and take a look! . . . .

I had a glorious Saturday morning last week when I was out "fawn hunting." As I left a little before 6 a.m., it was lightly raining with the sun starting to break through the clouds. I saw deer everywhere! Bucks, does and fawn. I was rewarded in my early morning drive to see a doe licking her fawn, before starting to walk around. As I followed them with my eye, three more fawn came into view.

This Mama doe was either babysitting, had adopted, or could she possibly give birth to four! I've seen three a few times, but never four. I got out of the car to see if I could get closer, and she became curious and started walking towards me. Soon the fawn followed. God gave me another wonderful scene to snap!
