Springtime Beauty and Goat Mommas

 

If I could figure out how to price my photography of nature - this would be a selling piece. There is absolutely zero computer altering. It's all just using the right settings, the right lighting, and focusing on the right place.

The Crab Apple Tree bloomed this weekend. It's funny to think that this little tree with such huge blossoms produce these little, cherry-sized, sour apples.






While I was capturing the details of the Tulips and Daffodils, there was a loud bang sound.
Well, it came from our neighbor's new sheep. They were acting quite springy.


Springy enough to make loud noises and spook their big buddy, Beau.

Chloe wondering if I have a treat for her. She's so cute, but she can be quite the pill with a teenager set of mind when it comes to food and trying to pet her. I wonder if she's ready to be the nanny when the babies come.


Bonnie was supposed be due with her babies this week, but then early last month, she went into heat and we're like "WHAT!!??"
So we bred her again and she's now due in September...which is still a good time before winter sets in to have baby goats. But REALLY!!?? Could we just have everyone due in the same week? But, NO! No, we gotta have one in May, one in June, and the last in September!


Lizzy is due the last week of May and is about ready to burst. This is her fourth pregnancy, so really they can come any day now. I can't wait to see what "colors" this Golden thrower would throw this year (she throws predominantly Max. White Golden babies - Paisley and Moo are the only "other" colors she has produced....and we still don't really know what color Moo is, since his spots are all in the wrong places for Agouti Pattern identification).


Double wide = 4 babies!


Paisley is due in June....since she is nearly impossible to tell if she's in heat or not! It's going to be interesting seeing how her crazy attachment to her momma when not just her little siblings are born, but also her own little babies.




Paisley finally came over to the fence. We are wondering if she is going to have twins. We'll see when she gets closer to her due date.


Of course, naturally, she climbs up to see if I have anything to eat. She's just as bad of a foodie as Chloe! This picture is so awesome! Her eye is completely in focus!

Stay tuned for the baby goats update when Lizzy's babies are born!
