Since we have a lot of new borns here tonight, here is my contribution.
This was taken this afternoon. This is one of my ewes and her day-old lambs. she did not want me near her.
She is a breed of sheep that sheds their wool. She is just starting that process right now--that is why she looks a mess. She will be slick and shiney black by mid summer.
You can see that the lambs are slick haired, not wooly.

I was happy with this pic--cause for once I got the exposure pretty correct--and did not have to process it alot. I shot in manual--and liked it alot. Whoopeee!!

Very nice shot, Bonnie. I didn't know you owned lambs as well as dogs. I've never seen a brown sheep... thought they only came in white.:D They must be for the taupe sweaters, uh?
