Lovely outing to visit the lambs, Esther.
Thank you, Miriam! It’s a good experience for us learning about them.
Good for your children, Esther. 😊
Beautiful & nice photography. I like. Beautiful Kids pic. Nice 🐑🐑 pic. Nice you sharing visit the Lambs,My dear friend.
Thank you, Raj! We’re having so much fun taking care of the lambs. Yesterday we did a lot of physical labor to move the fences so the lambs can be in better pasture. I felt dizzy!
Very nice you doing work. Nice you & kids care of the lambs. I like. Iam proud of you my dear friend.
You have a beautiful son.
Awww, thank you, Cindy! What a lovely comment.
A lovely sight!
Thank you, Jo!
The lambs are so cute … but I have to say my favourite capture are the backs of the children. Such an artistic and dreamy shot.
Thank you, Ju Lyn! The lambs are cute and fun to observe, but they don’t like to be around humans. They run in the opposite direction. That’s been discouraging for us, because we started this project with the hope of petting them. lol.
Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m really happy with how the back pictures turned out. Since we move slow towards the lambs, I stay behind the kids and shoot away.
I hope you are well! So good to see you here.
Ah skittish creatures …
Sweet!! 🐏
I’m glad that your family is still learning about farm lambs.
It’s been a lot of fun for us and quite a bit of physical labor too! We were supposed to finish the project kid June, but the lambs are getting bigger and the pasture is getting dried out. Sad to say, but the project will end May 30th and they will be headed to the meat production factory. ugh.
I wondered how this project was going and didn’t ask as I was five days behind in Reader.
I’m behind in Reader too!
We go and check up on the lambs once a week, except last week required two visits since we had to move the fence and corral. The side of the pasture they were in started started drying up and they ate through the tall stalks of oats, and we needed to move them to the untouched part of the pasture. They clear out the pasture in a matter of days.
That’s amazing – our grass is growing so quickly from all the rain we are having lately that we need a goat or a cow or a lamb if it eats grass, not just oats.
There is no better image than seeing children in a field with farm animals and not inside on electronics. What a fantastic learning experience!
This is a great project for them and we’re learning so much about taking care of large animals! But when we get home, they are back on their devices and video games. lol.
