Lamb

From Photo of the day (2009)

So I managed to get a shot of one of these guys before they grew up. This one is a ram lamb that was born a week ago exactly, from one of our two Southdown ewes. The other one lambed on the weekend, and I will admit that these things have to be one of the only fuzzy critters that is not cute just after it is born - they look like shriveled old squinty men with eyebrows that are way too long. After a week when the rest of their body gets some more fluff and they fill out a bit they are pretty cute. Hopefully the weather will improve so they can run around the yard with their moms! Right now they are confined to the sheep shed out in the field across from the cheese plant.

I cropped this, sharpened, saturated and played a bit with highlights/fill light in Picasa.
