    Soft & Dreamy

    ,

    We don’t get things that look soft and dreamy, so I had ignored this assignment until the day before yesterday. When we get rain, we often get lots of rain. I was in the hay barn and got this shot before we got the emergency backhoe working and did some ditch digging to protect the… Continue reading

  • Blue & White

    Blue & White

    ,

    This is a lovely Colorado sky, bright blue and full of fluffy clouds. Summer is here. We didn’t have any spring – we went straight from winter to summer. Prompt: Using contrast in your photography can give you very artistic shots. Make a color photo with high contrast today. Continue reading

    Typical Colorado: clear and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky. Prompt: Look up today and make a photograph of the sky. Is it cloudy, clear, or somewhere in between? Tell the story of your sky today. Continue reading

    I tried several things for my daily shoot today. Mud (it’s been raining), cat fur, and then, the sun finally peeked out, and I got this shot. This is off our front porch. Prompt: Make a photo that you think would work well as computer wallpaper, and try it out for a week! (@padlockd) Continue reading

    We woke up this morning to more snow! At least this one was a normal spring snow. It all melted by afternoon. We had no new lambs during this snow, which was nice. Continue reading

  • Our Farm

    ,

    I cherish our small farm. Today, though, we had snow, which is not good during lambing. The light was harsh for most of the day. Prompt: Make a photo of something you cherish today in beautiful light. Arrange and move things if you need to. Continue reading

  • Even More Snow!

    Even More Snow!

    , , , ,

    It’s already May, and we’re STILL getting snow. This is unusual, even for us. Most spring snows melt the same day. As things stand, we’re feeding out a lot more hay on pasture to make sure the sheep stay warm. Even the dandelions are confused by this weather. By late afternoon, it had fortunately started… Continue reading

    Major Spring Snowstorm

    Today, we got a major snowstorm. We put the ewe and her twins in a jug with a dog house to protect the little ones. We had another lamb today, too – one ewe lamb. She and her mom got the same treatment. I hope no more ewes lamb for a while. We’re supposed to… Continue reading

    First Lamb of 2010!

    , , ,

    It’s a good thing we burned brush earlier. Today, the wind is blowing hard, with gusts up to 52 miles per hour. There’s a lot of dust in the air, and it certainly would have been too windy for a fire. Of course, one of the ewes decided this was a good time to go… Continue reading
