Another day, another sunrise in the Lanark Highlands. It is still too damn cold for words. Spit freezes on the way down and bounces when it hits the g (...)

The sunrise colours were brief as clouds began to move in. This is a last look at the big sky over Tiraislin Fold before the ceiling drops to hover lo (...)

It was time to remove the frozen Yak from the barn. A chain was put around its horns and the tractor pulled it out easily. The carcass had not frozen (...)

The snow began to fall again. Rosemary is diligent about putting the cats out. Today, I was boss cat and tossed the cat herd out. They needed airing o (...)

We tried to teach Ivan how to howl. Come on, lad ... RAOUUULLL. You can do it, Ivan ... hurrrr ... BARK. Just let it out ... RAOUUULLL. Grrrrr ... BAR (...)

The falling snow turned into a snow squall. I found Chai perched atop Rosemary's Easter Island Head that she carved out of a log years ago with a chai (...)

Chai heard me lurking behind the door and turned around for this portrait. It was time to let the fur people back in anyway.

There was a thump at the door the next morning. Expecting Georgina, I got up with the camera. Surprise, it was Ecuador. Rosemary quickly gathered up s (...)

Rosemary gave me some veggies to give to Ecuador. He would not accept anything from me, the suspicious bugger. Only Rosemary can hand-feed him, as he (...)

This is my first image of a Blue Jay, ever. These birds never sit still and are usually too fast for me in the wild. This day I was aiming the camera (...)

I accompanied Rosemary to the main barn. This skidder had been left by the man who was supposed to have cut and split wood for Rosemary since last Spr (...)

Any time Rosemary leaves the house the animals nearby all come over to check things out. Billy was the first on the scene.

"Come on, Luv. Give us a kiss!" I know what you are thinking, Fred. Georgina gives mean tongue. You've been warned.

The barn residents were glad to see Rosemary. She gave them the treats that Ecuador didn't want. The barn filled with the sounds of MAAA and BAAA.

The roosters, hens and ducks looked down on the three-ring circus below, commenting loudly on the activities.

Today, the sheep were released on the pond side of the barn. Rosemary tossed out some flakes of hay in various directions to draw them out. As if they (...)

The new geese are still unsure about all this open space. They had been stall raised at the other farm. Still, the lure of the great outdoors was work (...)

I don't know if you are familiar with the animated series, Shawn The Sheep. The series is made by the guys who make Wallace & Gromit. Well, this bunch (...)

Despite the -25 C temperature, Rosemary couldn't resist drawing on the side of her barn with a piece of charcoal.

Ivan thought that a nap was a good idea. I suspect he sleeps with his eyes open.
