as promised, but a little late...

i promised these monday, but promptly decided i was too sick to stay at work. went home early, was out yesterday, and am just today getting back to my regular-old-self.

so, the background: my grandparents have been raising & showing sheep for most - if not all - of my life. annually, they hold a 'farm sale' where they invite fellow farmers and vendors to set up shop in the barn for a day. i love the opportunity to peruse beautiful, handspun wool yarns, carefully carded fibers and unbelievably soft wool felt, but this year, i was looking forward to turning my camera on the whole event. this is a handful of my favorite photographs. and actually, this is just part 1. there are so many, i think i'll have to post them in 3 parts. ;)

{love this little one's spot on his nose. he came running when he saw my camera... i thought maybe they were natural born models... later i learned that they just hadn't been fed yet!}

{another miscellaneous cool farm shot.}


{is it my imagination, or are those sheep whispering about me? well, at least they're not pointing their hooves and laughing...}


{sena, the farm guard dog, looking dejected and... threatening...}

ok, more later. :)
