New Lamb

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 4 March 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This lamb Is less than 24 hours old. Her mother is the Dorset sheep we borrowed from a farmer neighbor (John) to keep our sole sheep company. It was a lovely surprise to find the lamb in our pasture yesterday late afternoon. If you look carefully, you can see its drying umbilical cord. John told me how to hold the lamb close to the ground, where mom could smell it, and walk backwards, leading mom to the smaller pasture by the barn. What a joy to hold this baby. By nighttime, the lamb was curled up in the straw of the barn. (I know the photo isn't very sharp.)

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.
