New life experiences in the dale

lambs2

I flagged down a local farmer this morning to tell him that four lambs were in the middle of the road about half a mile away. He cursed and charged off so quickly on his quad bike that his shocked sheepdog passenger struggled to stay aboard. On this sunny but breezy spring day in Ribblesdale I had great fun photographing some of the other adorable lambs that hadn’t escaped from the confines of the fields. I’m not sure the chap in the third photo should be exploring such life experiences at his age… especially when his mum’s in the same field.

Thanks for dropping in

snowdrops

Snowdrops are making their annual appearance in the local churchyard.
They’re a welcome sight after a few bland weeks here in Ribblesdale.
But I fear their coy and courteous bow is premature.
The spring they hope to herald in remains a distant dream.
