Greetings from Amy and Welcome to this special Mother's Day edition of Images and Words! In honor of this holiday I have chosen the theme "Family." Here's my entry:
I took this photo of a Barbary Sheep (Aoudad) family at Safari West in Sonoma County, California. Safari West is an African wildlife preserve in the heart of the Napa/Sonoma Wine Country, and I highly recommend visiting there if you're ever in that area. It's neither a zoo nor a drive through park, rather you take a guided tour in a truck just like an African safari--and I know this because I've been on an African safari in Kenya! And just like a game park in Kenya they have permanent tent accommodations for overnight stays. If you're interested in their website please click here.
Barbary Sheep are from North Africa and live in the rocky mountains there, so they are very happy on this steep hillside in Sonoma. I took another photo of a different family of Barbary Sheep that was more of a close up portrait, and it's a nice shot but my family and I prefer this photo taken through the foliage because it's an action shot.
I hope you will enjoy this theme and may you all have a
Happy Mother's Day!
Each week we will post an original photo with words on it. The idea behind this group is to expand our minds through our photography.
Photos must be your own, but the words can be someone else's as long as credit is given after the words.
Your post can either be serious, or if you'd like comical, but never obscene .
Posts can either have one word on them,quotes, or full poems ... Your choice.
All posts are to be done on your own site in a blog form with a link back to it being left here (I've created a button link which you are welcome to use).
