First, I finally was able to purchase a long awaited camera, and have been having a little too much fun (a Nikon D80, for those fellow photography-obsessed). So these photos are a result of that new toy excitement.
We adopted 2 orphaned lambs, bottle-fed them, weaned them, then they graduated to grazing on the mountain with their herd. This one is my favorite. When you pet him, he nuzzles your hand as if saying, Keep petting me, please. He is a real sweetie.
Then we raised 4 baby chicks, were unable to get the coop ready in time, and so they were thankfully received by a friend who already had her own chicken flock (minus 2 chicks who got away, most unfortunately). They were very sweet creatures to have around, and we'll have to try again sometime, this time more prepared.
This and the next couple pictures are from a hike in Kanarraville Canyon - we love it, can you tell?
Enjoying a little r&r in Zion NP (Springdale), sans children.
The adventurous Narrows hike, in Zion Canyon.
As you can see, we've been having some fun, and luckily summer has only just begun (which means there is more fun ahead).
