I thought I'd share some outtakes from a recent photo shoot. This one involved a borrowed wading pool (thank you Stacey, as always), a pig trough's worth of milk, lots of paint, and an artist willing to subject herself to this crazy scheme. Linda Bleck, the children's book illustrator is the subject of a feature profile coming soon to the blog. But I am not giving anything away by stating how grateful I was for her trust. Perhaps because she is herself so utterly creative, she was open to all ideas, God bless her, including full milk submersion.

As usual, my hubbie helped out behind the scenes. It was a fabulous day with a model who loved the limelight. She and her daughter, my famous cousin Natalie, had us laughing so continuously, it was hard for Renn to hold the camera steady!

Today's post features Lulu and Daisy. They are two cuddly lambs who live at O'Day Farm Studio where Renn (pictured above) and I went to shoot these photos. Renn is my trusty and talented photographer and the sheep farm/art studio belongs to Renn's mother, Mary and her husband Patrick. It's a beautiful spot with outbuildings that double as art studios, rambling gardens, spotless and well built barns, green paddocks, rolling farmland, and sheep. We loaded up a bunch of furniture and accessories, enlisted a son (Nick, also pictured above) to model, and drove the forty minutes out there because, why not? How often does one get a chance to frolic with lambs? It was a delightful day that convinced me I am right to dream about someday raising sheep and making feta. Here are some outtakes I thought you would enjoy, since spring is blowing coyly in our ear these days.
