Springtime! Garden flowers and blooming bushes go hand in hand with baby lambs. This little lamb is only in the tulips to have a portrait taken - don't worry, it won't eat one and get poisoned. I was once chastised when this photograph was published on the cover of a magazine by a concerned reader who warned against the dangers of lambs eating tulips. It takes too much work to grow both lambs and flowers for me to want to take a chance on losing either. I'm happy to report each spring they both keep coming back to enjoy.
Indian Paintbrush and Yellow Lichen on the hillside make for a relaxing late spring photograph. The cowboys were gathering cattle on the other side of Maggie Creek on the Bilk Creek Mtns. so I took advantage of the quiet morning side of the mountain.
Quiet times on the desert are, to me, the best part of living in a relatively isolated place. Not much traffic - not too many people - a chance to just stand for a while and be aware of the stillness and beauty of nature.
