Taking it easy

I love the springtime when the days get brighter and warmer, when the flowers start to bloom, the birds sing, and our neighbours' lambs appear in the fields.
It also makes gettting a shot for my PAD much easier. I just have to get out a long lens, walk across the road, and hey presto, I've got a cute shot.

"Mmmm, I love the feel and look of this grass, it's just like lying in a pool of mint sauce. Huh, what's wrong with saying that, mum?" Another nice expression shot, where the lamb really stands out against the green background. The shallowish DOF making the background grass very soft also emphasises the "soft" feel of the overall image.
