Who knew that frogs, up close, actually have Mona Lisa smiles?? "Kermit Theee Frog" appeared to be unfazed by my presence. I tried reassuring the frog that I meant it no harm, and, if it stayed for just a bit, I'd not even try to pick it up and say hi. I was able to shoot this and a few other photos from about six inches away from the frog. In thanks for its cooperation, I was true to my word. No frog slime on these hands. Not that day, anyway...
Doreen and Eric Gitschier, along with their two children, breed and raise pigs at Gitch's Funny Farm in Hill, NH. These guys were enjoying the April sun, and, although they look tranquil, there was actually quite a bit of shifting going on as they rotated to get the best exposure!
A lovefest at the Booty Family Farm in Sandwich, NH, home to the happiest people and animals ever. Here, the sheep's name is Hugs, and, well, she likes to be scratched. The cat's name is Smoke, and he likes to be scratched. Smoke leapt up onto the stump in the sheep pen, and Hugs came right over. I had one chance to get this right, and it makes me giddy-happy every time I look at it. It's so stinkin' CUTE, and reminds me of all that is right with the world.
