Uh oh - snow!

As soon as I appear in the paddock with the camera, Wee Eck appears as if by magic!  He loves to pose for  photos and usually ends up licking the lens.  He's got the biggest ears in the herd and he likes to show off his dental arrangements when he can.  His father Gotit, also has protruding teeth and he looks, and acts, a lot like him.  There are two very black eyes under the fringe somewhere but you have to get up close to him to see them!

The first snows of the winter appeared on the Beinn this week and this together with the lovely autumnal colours makes for a good shot.  We moved the boys into the bottom paddocks this week so Rufus takes an opportunity to pose in front of a different backdrop.  Rufus continues to settle into the herd, eating apples as if they were going out of fashion, and he does not hum as much now.  He is 'pushy' with his food though and once he finishes his bowl of supplement he tries to muscle into other bowls - unless the owner is Fidget who takes no prisoners when it comes to his food!

Looking north this time. Behind Gaucho is snow covered Ben Wyvis, a Munro at 3432 feet, but you may have to magnify this to see it.

The boys grazing in the early morning sun.  Looking west in this photo.  After taking this photo the boys were penned and we did some vitamin/ mineral drenching and nail clipping.

And finally........I felted this small bag this week from Gotit's fleece (Ardo Alpacas) and I needle felted the red Merino wool flower onto it.  The centre of the flower is fleece from Gotit and Fyta.  I've added some sparkling beads onto the flower.  The handle is adjustable and the fastener is a felted ball.
