We visited Gorgie City Farm today to see the two lambs that were born last week. They are adorable, sitting in the corner smilig at all the visitors. A combination of poor light and empty camera batteries meant we didn't get any decent photos, so these are last year's lambs (later in the year).While we were at the farm we popped in to visit the rabbits. It was lovely to see Driftwood sitting quietly with Louie and Lily. Normally these three don't get on but it seems they've finally integrated. We even saw Driftwood lick Louie's nose at one point. Ebony the newest rabbit on the farm though was in a cage by himself, he hasn't integrated yet.
Gorgie City Farm has recently relaunched its membership scheme and animal sponsorship scheme. You can read more on their website here. We're sponsoring Driftwood again this year....
As often, the super shadows and the details only manifest themselves when enlarged and this is super - one might almost think the lambs were zebras.

The lambs are adorable, babes hanging around the sheep for warmth and protection. The strong sun keeps the youngsters warm, and like Gerald, I see Zebra markings on the lambs. A fun illusory look at these wooly creatures!
ReplyDeletelove those stripey shadows..what a great shot..
ReplyDeleteWhat great shadows! Cute little lambs as well!
ReplyDeleteIt seems so early for lambs. Hopefully a sign of an early spring.
ReplyDeleteJust like us, they go to the area where the sun is for the sun's warmth.
ReplyDeleteHappy SSS to you!
Don't you hate it when your camera decides to have a battery tantrum? Still, you had your earlier image to keep is in the picture. They are simply adorable, nestling there in the sun.
ReplyDeleteSheep and shadows beautiful. I do like sheep.
ReplyDeletethose are great shadow lines.

Oh, I love this! I like sheep pictures. These guys look so contented with those warm beams of sun shining on them. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteWow! The lambs ar born already! How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteLovely shadows! Looks like a fun day :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous shot-sheep are so sweet! I love their stripey shadow coats. I had a peek at Driftwood-great name for a rabbit. Louie and Lily's link didn't work for me though.
ReplyDeleteCity farms are such a great idea.
I never realized that lambs were born as early as January! hope they get to keep warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sponsoring Driftwood Juliet, it's because of people like you that rabbits have a better life.
I must visit the farm one day.
Loved your touching post on Laika. Such a sad story and I have thought about her fate often.
I didn't know she was homeless...
Mans inhumanity to other beings really knows no bounds. Sadly it is still happening in laboratories.
You're so right with the striped critters...zebra lambs and trout...who knew...cool shot!
ReplyDeleteYay for Driftwood .. good company and good support!

ReplyDeleteOver here the lambs have not been born yet on the farm where my son assists! Heard they were expected in a couple of weeks.
Enjoy your week!
Beautiful shadow shot and pattern on those cute lambs.
ReplyDeleteOne of my virtual friends here in the States said his goats were kidding over the last week. Sheep are next some time soon.

ReplyDeleteNice post ... Isn´t it rather early for lambs?
ReplyDeleteDorte (and anyone else who's wondering) yes it is a bit early for lambs but this breed of sheep breed and lamb earlier than most.
