lamb and lichen by jantan

lamb and lichen

well, I seem to have completely lost my drive to take photos this week - just completely uninspired. I blame the weather, well I blame it for most things, so I might as well. So here is another one from Monday.

A very dull day. (First day of spring!) I spent most of it dealing with numerous admin things that I should have done before now. So I am feeling quite smug to be almost up to date.

It was relatively bright, but with a bitter easterly wind first thing so I took Joey Boy for another pre-Palm Sunday venture into the church. He doesn't bat an eyelid, even when I have to pull back some heavy curtains that are on a really noisy track to let us into the church, so I am hopeful that he will behave on Sunday. Heavy snow is forecast for Saturday and I think it will still be lying around on Sunday which should be interesting. Especially the bit where I have to get him down a very steep concrete slope from our field, so we will have to see if it looks possible to do it safely on the day. I am also pondering how I am going to be able to get a photo of him doing his duties if I am leading him. Maybe I will have to ask the vicar to take over the donkey leading duties for a while, tho I don't get the impression that he is much of an animal lover.

Kamikaze pheasant was hanging around for most of the day. Possibly limping slightly less and his broken tail feather has fallen out, so he is looking a far less sorry sight.
I know how you feel about lack of inspiration but I think you are entitled to that on 121% complete!

Oh you must get a picture. I'm looking forward to it. How can a vicar not be an animal lover? Are they not all God's creations? We have had heavy snow for most of the night.

This is lovely. I am exactly the same Jan, uninspired and too cold to take my camera out! Hard to remain upbeat when all there is is grey grey and more grey.

I think we are all sick of winter and longing for warmer weather. But, you still manage to get pictures posted every day ... so give yourself a pat on the back!

Also greatly uninspired !! AND blaming the weather !! Love your little lamb - he's found a sun spot with shelter from the stone wall

Your lamb is really cute and doesn't seem to mind the lack of warmth. Don't worry about your inspiration - it will return!

Cute lamb. I had a plan for a photo today but it is chucking it down which is going to make things difficult.

Lamb looks quite cute.
Cold will pass, and before you know it, it will be too hot ;)

Your lamb has found his spot in the sun... I send you a bit of sunshine from India....if i could, to drive away the greys ... hope it reaches soon.... :)

Lovely lamb...do the numbers attach them to their mom or only keep track of how many the lambs have been born? Most seem to do it, so I wondered.

Cute shot, Jan. I feel for you. We have yucky weather here today too.

..another member of the cold uninspired pack!!! Really had to force myself today so 100% understand!!! really looking forward to your post re the Easter parade! and the pic of your vicar!!

Definitely went through the lack of inspiration a while ago! It's come back slightly now, but it's the dark nights that do it for me!

Lovely little spring lamb is the sign of spring though :)

Was wondering the very same thing about the photo as I was reading this, I'm sure nobody would bother if you didn't take the photo but we MUST see Joey Boy in his prime role!
Love number 25 & he/she has positioned himself right in front of the yellow lichen...he must have known you were going to put him on 365!

Wonderful shot, composition, textures, colours, lighting - just superb and a charming little lamb!

Wonderful photo of this adorable lamb!

This is great. What a lovely shot. Nicely done.

Oh, that little baby is obviously enjoying those warm rays. The number makes him look like he's a contestant in a foot race. ;-0

I'm glad Joey Boy's informal rehearsals are going well. I expect to soon read that he gave an award winning performance.
And Yay for the pheasant. :-) Good news, indeed.
