It was a very dull grey day with no good light so I picked colorful chickens instead.

Look for the opportunity to photograph a subject or scene in natural light today. Pay careful attention to the exposure.

FINALLY! Snow is melting and the grass is growing. We are a month away from lambing so getting the pasture up and ready for sheep is critical.

Today's theme is the color green. Make a photograph dominated by green and post it.

After a full day shearing sheep, this is the sidewalk I like to see!

This isn't our flock but a flock Eifion did today. We shear our 135 Black Welsh Mountain sheep tomorrow.

Think of a subject that starts with either the letter "D" or "S". Find it, and make a photo!

Today's assignment forced me to figure out how to put my camera into B&W mode. Had fun but couldn't find a really good contrasty thing to photograph so settled for the Mt. Lamborn standard shot.

Time to revisit a traditional photographic look. Make a black and white photo with high contrast today.
