Jane, head chief of a goat herd!

Jane is now head chief of a goat herd!   We were so glad that she was needed in that position as she is no good at being a mother!  We lost two of her babies because she didn't get them up to nurse them.

It was fun to watch Jane arrive at her new position.  We never heard her bray before but she did so when she arrived at the goat pen.  It was a humorous scene.  The goats hid, and the cattle and the horses come running!  I was only able to capture one decent image of a goat baaing at me.  Its funny how they look like they're smiling when they baa!  Meet of few of Jane's new family members that greeted her arrival!

Cute Donkey and Horse Closeups

Using a 20mm wide angle lens, I photographed Sally, our donkey, and Reese and Ace, our horses, last Saturday during sunset.  They thought they were getting a treat so they came real close to the camera and allowing me to capture their expressions of curiosity.  The 20mm lens makes for some cute, distorted images and I use it when I want to have some photo fun!  I have included my favorite images from the outdoor session and hope you get a good laugh at their cute expressions!

A trail of dust, a muddy horse, and a laughing donkey

It felt good to finally get outside during our spring weather and take pictures of our happy animals as they they were let out into the pasture.  Both the horses splashed in the pond and got wet, but Ace decided to roll in the dirt after he got out so he got pretty muddy!  I had a hay day capturing our babies as they enjoyed their new found freedom!  Jane, one of the donkeys, was having so much fun you can see her laughing below! :)  I picked out my favorites from the photography excursion and have included them for your viewing pleasure!
