Went down to Colonial Williamsburg to see if there were any lambs -- and there were!!

Unfortunately, it was a rainy morning, so they were mostly hiding under a tree. Except this guy out eating leaves. :)

I really liked this photo, but I didn't think it had the "awww" effect.



I'm a little confused about the comment about the nose being blown, though. I see all the shades in the nose, and I don't see anything that looks even remotely blown. I'm curious, however, if I'm off base. If anyone's reading this -- is there a blown area I'm missing?

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!!

This certainly had the "Awww" factor for me. A cute shot Wendy.

I get it -- but that's just the sheep. :)

Maybe it had something to do with the fact that it was raining? Or maybe he just is that much lighter on the nose:

Perfect. Exactly the spirit of the challenge. Cute vote. Not sure the lack of detail in the eye will be noted by hasty voters but still a 7.

Precious face, but the nose area seems to be blown out and oversharpened

My first thought was, "Is that lamb eating bacon?"
