Border Collies at work

Day 14/365

It's lambing season!!!! Did you even know there was a lambing season? Well, I didn't know this fact until recently. But I guess it makes perfect sense. It's Spring....so yes, it's lambing season.

We saw some two week old adorable lambs at the farm this weekend. They were in a stall with the Mama's in the barn. Their cuteness is undeniable. But the other really amazing thing about seeing these lambs was the two Border Collies who were guarding the pen. They took such pride in their work. They NEVER took their eyes off the lambs. It was so cool to see them working.

Now I am a very indecisive person, and I don't know if I prefer this photo in the original color version, or in the old fashioned sepia toned version. So I will share both.




Love the interaction in this one



Happy lambing season everyone!!!!
And happy birthday to "N".....my very own first born "lamb"......err......child. I'm so proud of him!!!

  2. I like both versions - interestingly, the colored image seems to convey more depth than the B&W. The collies seem hard-wired to protect those lambs! What fun you had ~ ~
