Cuteness overload… :)
Great news about the workshop, it sounds like a wonderful two days. Wish I could make it, but alas, no :(

Could anything be as cute as Gonzo and Camilla?
Thanks so much for these wonderful pics.

Juniper Moon is fast becoming part of my nightly ritual. I check in for pictures and head to bed smiling, especially now with that wonderful new life.

About the workshop. I’d have to drive from MI. Are there any affordable spots near the farm for me to stay? I have an outdoor photography project (of farms and sheep and all) coming up so this is so timely.

I ordered Shear Spirit fully expecting JMF to be in it and was severely disappointed when it wasn’t but loved the book nonetheless. And, yes, the photos were amazing.

Wish I could take the workshop just to spend quality time with you and the animals but must pass on this one much as it pains me. Besides, I bet you’re already full!

Please blog about that day – I’d love to hear how it went!

Linda, there is a brand-new Best Western that just opened up the road and I think you can get a room for $89 or so.

I love watching the babies and hearing my daughter way down in VA! So, why don’t you call it a ‘Nanny’ Cam?
