Yesterday afternoon my purple croci were sparkling in the sun, so I had to grab my camera and try to capture the magic. Not bad, not bad at all - but nothing like the inspiration for my little photo shoot.They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I guess I'm doing my sincere best to flatter Kate of Chronicles of a Country Girl. She (AND her husband) take the most beautiful photos of all sorts of things, which Kate then fancies up with textures and stuff. Me, I don't have the time or inclination for all that, so I just snap and post my simple photos and drool over her works of art. (P.S. She sells her prints, too.)
On a sheep-related note, last night I dreamed that Inky had QUADS. All four were rams in solid modified colors, one obviously horned, the other three possibly polled or half-polled. Yes, it was a very vivid, realistic dream!
That's it for now at . . .
Ohhh you are so lucky to be able to see the crocus. If you visit my blog you will see that yesterday we had another snow storm. Just when I thought there might be a breath of spring!
ReplyDeleteDream on!! Maybe you will get lucky. I know those flowers are from last year. How could they be blooming when it was -5 degrees here this morning. Lucky you!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could see the grass, or anything that resembled spring. We've had a spell of -40c cold, cold cold weather blow in with a bunch of new snow. It's so nice to know the Shetlands are such a hearty breed!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Thanks for sharing Spring.
Oh Sharrie, I didn't like that dream at all! Triplets at the most, please, and all gulmogets - and NOT all rams!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping she has twins. Twins are easy to handle compared to quads... ugh. What a dream for you. :-( I seriously hope it's twins...gulmoget ewes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek at spring again. The weather here snapped cold again.
I think quads would help my chances of guessing how many lambs you'll have ;-). I'd rather not win though if that was what it would take!
ReplyDeleteAww! Pretty! Pretty! I just got back from 80° Florida t0 15° WI. Those little purple promises of spring were just what I needed today!
ReplyDeleteExcellent captures! I think these are my favorite that you've done so far! :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers!! Even less than 4 hours north of you, mine have just poked their little heads out, and they're in pots so they're somewhat earlier than the in ground flowers.
ReplyDeleteQuads - argh!!! Modified is nice, gulmoget even better, and ewes - ROCK ON!

I think these images are note-card-worthy!
ReplyDeleteIt helps to have beautiful things to take pictures of! It's still barren and cold here, but nice to see that *someone* has flowers~
ReplyDeleteWOW, lovely crocus!! my bulbs are just barely sprouts still popping up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, sure, no rams! Calves score:
ReplyDelete5 bulls, 2 heifers. We are not doing well in that regard.
