Friday frolic on 'film'

Last night the ewe lambs and young ewes were bouncing off the sheepfold walls – literally. Butting, leaping, bumping, humping; I tried to get a video but it was too dark. They had clearly been cooped up too long. Now that the pastures are growing again and (hopefully) all those nasty foxtail seedheads are buried, I decided to let them out for awhile. I had to wait until late this afternoon so I would have help herding them back in the fold.

It looks like there's plenty of light, but it was fading fast. Again I tried to shoot some video, but kept getting this:

You really needed to be here, but I hope you enjoyed a glimpse from . . .
