Rectangular Steps

 

Again, part of a study, which maybe partly explains these weird photographs of steps! :-)

Round Steps

 

I took these photos as part of an informal study of approaches various people have taken with steps.

I have to say that I find these rounded steps particularly attractive and inviting. What do you think?

Sprung

 

Just trying to keep up! Spring, it seems, is popping up everywhere now, all at once.

Lambing

 

 

It's that season of the year again when lambs are beginning to appear. Just a day before this photograph was taken, I happened to run into one of the persons responsible for their care who was taking the newest addition to Colonial Williamsburg's flock, born literally moments before, with its mother to "the barn" where both were to be checked by a veterinarian before being returned to pasture. 

The sheep here, however, aren't just for show. Their wool is used for spinning locally. Also, unlike on some farms, these sheep are not destined for mutton. They are, instead, "retired" to local farmers who, I'm told, kindly look after them in their dotage.
