Mary Had a Little Lamb...

The other day, my friend Susie asked me if I would be interested in going to one of her friend's farm to see microgreens and little lambs. I said, yes, of course, I would love to make like Mary and play with lambs. I didn't quite know what to expect, but it ended up being a very cool experience. Susie's friend grows greens for some of the best restaurants in Denver, and it was, well, delicious, to be wandering around rows and rows of trays of greens and sampling them at will. Here are some of them...

The farm also has sheep for milking; they also make cheese. We went into the room where the cheese was aging, and it smelled awesome! Too bad it was really dark in there and I didn't have a flash....

And where there are sheep, there will be lambs...

And a baby was born while we were there... This little girl was about 15 minutes old at this point... SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the images from the farm!

Kayaking in December

While we were down in Florida, my husband and cousin thought it would be a great idea to go kayaking... I told them to go ahead, that I would gladly hang out on the beach with my camera and take some pictures of them - that water was COLD, and I'm kind of a baby for cold water. We loaded up the boat with ourselves, the kayak, all my camera gear, and the dog, and dropped anchor in the inlet by my cousin's house. I'm looking around, not really wanting to get wet, and knowing darn well that water's deep where we are stopped, wondering how in the hell I'm going to get my camera gear down to the beach without soaking it. What do I do? Load myself, the gear, and the dog into the kayak, and off I went. Thankfully, my camera gear and I did NOT get wet, and I managed not to capsize the kayak.

In any case, it was a gorgeous afternoon, and the light was at that "magic" stage. Combined with the colors of the beach, I felt like I was in photographer's heaven. Here are a few of the results...

My cousin caught a pretty good wave here, and rode it until he fell over when the kayak hit the sand.
