FOUR LEGGED ‘WOOLY’ PHOTOGRAPHY!

Last Sunday was an awesome and inspirational day at the end of a fabulous weekend!  Isn’t it great to have those kinds of days?  To begin with, the weather was just beautiful. It seems like we have had so much rain lately.  Starting on Friday, I participated in 3 days of herding lessons with Dianne Deal from Idaho. Spyder and I had a great time and  I feel quite certain, gained some new skills.  Saturday night, my husband and I went to the Northwest Film Festival at the Portland Art Museum to see the documentary Sweetgrass! Although this movie was filmed in Montana, it was such a blast from my long, long past!  It was about a family owned sheep business who summer pastured their sheep in the mountains in Montana.  I grew up on a ranch in Colorado with sheep and cattle and there were many similarities throughout the entire movie.  The cinema photography was absolutely gorgeous and it was a very realistic representation of that lifestyle.  I highly recommend seeing it if you have an opportunity!

So when I happened to wander by the area where the young lambs were hanging out at Brigands Hideout (Battle Ground, Washington), I just had to grab my camera and join them for some photo ops!  I slipped into their pen and sat down.  At first they were giving me the once over, but pretty soon they went about their day and I was able to capture some fun shots!  I don’t think that I would classify this as pet photography, but they sure were fun to watch!  These lambs are around  4 months old.

I just have to mention this last image on the left!  This was just some sort of old wooden box that only had a back and two broken sides, but these lambs kept arguing over who got to hang out in the box!  It was quite entertaining to watch!
