The Lamb Keeper
There is this Dutch saying that literally says: 'Keeping your sheep on dry land'. Which means that you have got it all figured out.
I thought about that phrase when I came up with this concept.
My good friend Eliza keeps several sheep at the farm and she told me about this little lamb that was born on the second day of Easter. Unfortunately it's crippled on both of it's front feet, that is why his legs are taped.
Because of this, his mother rejected him and won't give him milk anymore, so he's being fed by hand. He's become tame and very social, that made him the perfect model for this concept.
I'm so happy that I got to shoot with a cute little lamb again, exactly one year after the creation of 'Innocence is Bliss'!

This is the story of The Bee Keeper, a beautiful young man with a gentle heart who is stronger than he knows. He has knowledge of where the natural bee hives are in the forest. He climbs the trees and shakes the hives to release the honey, with only a scarf for protection. Each day, he sends the bees out into the world and in time they return to make honey. Mmmm honey! And the bees give their honey to him freely and joyfully. One day in the forest, he climbs a tree and below him he spies a magical scene...the four goddesses of the seasons are dancing below in a clearing. Winter, Autumn, Summer, Spring...but it is Spring who catches his eye and he is mesmerized as one of his bees approaches a forget-me-not flower she holds in her hand. At the feet of the goddesses is a pond of lotus flowers, representing wisdom, while embroidered sequined flowers abound in the bushes at their sides. High in a tree, lounges a sleepy tiger, who represents strength and power. While on the branch below, a bee drives a little white car ...the car represents me, the artist, as I travel through the scene. And in the distance, rising out of the trees we see the majestic Bee Palace...
This is the Keeper's Pond, or Pen Ffordd Goch pond, as most people see it. Viewed from the western end witht he sun behind, on a nice day. people drive into the car park and just sit there for 10 minutes, enjoying the view, and then leave again. Many don't even get out of the car. It is a lovely spot.
Male Baird's Tapir (Tapirus bairdii) named "Don". Born June 13, 2018 at the San Diego Zoo after a 13-month gestation period. First-time mom, Luna, wasn't able to care for her newborn, so animal care staff have stepped in with assisted rearing. At birth, he weighed 22 pounds, but has steadily gained weight.
Baird's tapirs are native to Mexico, Central America, and NW South America. The calf's stripped and spotted (watermelon) coat serves as camouflage protection in the dappled light of their native forest floor habitat.
Conservation status: Endangered

Just a few more waterfowl shots to follow to finish off this month's 'theme' then on the 1st of march, if the weather is good, hopefully I will start my grebes project!! Can't wait, I'm praying for some good light!
Spent the day sorting through piles of semi recent acquisitions to figure out what to toss and what to keep. Just guessing, but may need to make room for some new holiday items!
This lovely concrete drain has some new and old concrete sections (currently it has a smelly & poo ey sewage leak)

We started our "very hot" Saturday with a soccer tournament. Two early games, and by 11am it was over 100 degrees on the field. A very competitive, hard-fought loss in the first match, and then a bit of a debacle in the second against a superior team. My son usually plays keeper one half and center-mid, or forward for the other half. Here he is channeling a little "Keeper Zen" prior to his match. He played really well, so whatever it take to get in the zone.

This double house for lighthouse keepers at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse at Corolla, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, is the restored original keepers' house; a similarly-styled smaller house was moved here from another lighthouse in 1920 to house a third keeper and is also part of the restored Currituck Beach Light Station. I like the architectural details of this house, and the subtle difference in color between the siding and the white trim. The louvered structures at the sides of the house are cisterns, and the unusual divided brick walk runs between the house and lighthouse; I suppose the idea was to provide a walk for each side of the house (or maybe to provide a walkway wide enough for two people while minimizing the number of bricks). The house is occupied and thus not open to the public.
The automated lighthouse is still an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation, but the lighthouse and grounds are owned by Outer Banks Conservationists, a nonprofit organization that has spent three decades restoring the property. Currituck Beach Lighthouse was added to the National Register of HIstoric Places in 1973 (73001333), and the boundaries for the listing were increased in 2000. The lighthouse has been open to the public since 1991 (click on the Corolla tag at right for other images from this site, including views from the top of the lighthouse).
