Our Friday Friends group decided to take a little photography trip last week, instead of doing out usual art projects. We didn't go far....just down the road to the local sheep farm.
As it turned out, there were other things to see besides just sheep.
There were large old trees
The old stone farmhouse
had a peaceful place to sit out back.
The garden had some interesting mulch...wool scraps, as well as the usual straw, to keep the weeds down.
Flowers grow with wild abandon along the fence rows.
and critters help themselves to whatever they can find.
The cedar rails were piled up and ready, perhaps to repair, or make more fences.
Some of the lambs are still being hand fed by the farmer and they live away from the rest.
Others are doing fine and even grazing on the grass now.
One of my friends was very excited to meet her first lamb. It had managed to get through the fence and came right to her. She couldn't resist a snuggle.
Our friendly sheep farmer came out to chat with us for a while. The same lamb my friend had was happy to greet him too. It definitely likes people. I hope he keeps it, as his cull list is growing longer day by day.
We had a wonderful time exploring and meeting the sheep. I know I got at least a couple of pictures that will inspire me to create, and I'm sure the others likely did too.
