More Spring time...

A few days ago, I posted about a spring-time tradition of ice cream as a spring time tradition. Well, as I had said in that post, lambs are another major aspect of spring. I have seen a ton this  spring, but haven't actually had the chance to take any pictures of them. Well, I looked through my pictures from last spring and saw a few that I hadn't posted. So, with that, here's a couple lambs!

Local wildlife

Since moving in our new house, we've been seeing a bunch of animals that are around. Of course, there's cows, donkeys and horses, but much more interestingly, there's pheasants, badgers and foxes. Over the last week, the pheasants have been going crazy around the house, and I hear them at different points of the day. A couple mornings ago, I saw a few so I grabbed the camera and got a few pictures:

Pic of the day

After the parade last week as we were walking back to our car, there was some commotion going on in the river. I saw quickly that 2 male ducks were fighting for the affections of a female, so I quickly began shooting some pictures. I got some of them actually fighting in the river that I may post here soon, but there's one in particular I wanted to share; I got one of those "I got the shot I was hoping for, I just can't believe I actually got it" pictures...

Squaring Off

The other day a friend of ours was in town and I took him for a drive through the mountains near our house. As we were driving, we saw this monster ram (on the left) and thought it was neat, but then another ram came up to it and started to challenge it.
