I had a request for some head shots, so twist my rubber arm and force me to take my camera to the barn. Well, actually, that was exactly what I needed. A good swift kick in the butt. I think this summer's heat and humidity, among other issues, has really taken a toll.
The short break in the weather last week really cheered us all up. Today's steamy 88 degrees with a "real feel" of 97 was just...demoralizing. I'm just so ready for summer to be over. I'm a sheep at heart. I'm happiest when I can comfortably wear a wool sweater.
These aren't my normal style of picture composition, but they are what was requested for the application for which they might be used. Hopefully they'll inspire me to get back into the routine joy of taking more pictures again.
Actually, I've taken quite a few pictures. My broken mojo is more in putting them into a cohesive blog post. So...basically...here are some pictures.
Renny
Maisie
Muffin
Muuuuffffiiiinnn ;-)
The neighbor makes fun of me for how I say Muffin.
Biiiiiiiscuit ;-)
Daniel Not-Boone aka Big D
B. Willard...looking pretty bewildered :-D.
Priddy Liddy
Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever officially introduced the old rams who have retired here. This is Jared. Being a breeding ram (for 10 years), he was never coddled or played with or fed cookies. He has become one of my very best barn buddies.
"I just look tough. I'm really a sweet, lovable cookie monster. I've been told I'm going to be in the hugging pen at some party they have here every fall. I can't wait!"
"I ain't going in any stupid hugging pen. And you can keep those stupid cookies. Jared has gone soft in the head."
This is Rocky. He's actually not as grumpy as he wants everyone to believe. And he will let you hug and kiss on him and even eat a cookie or two now and then...when he wants to ;-). If he looks familiar, he should. He's Hershey and Spud's dad and grandfather to Biscuit, Muffin, Levi and Andy.
