Here's about a two-minute video of some of the scenes from in and around The Creek for the end of March to the middle of April (2015).

In the beginning, it's water ripples. Then some insects. And birds, and sheep's wool in the wind, and some stones in the air.

March 25-28, 2015

Breaking Bud

March 2015

Blackberry

Half-vulture-eaten carp on the banks of The Creek

That carp's ribs and empty insides

Raccoon on the way to being eaten by vultures

Fossils are good 

.Five lambs born within two and a half weeks

 

Ice in the sheep's water bucket 

Winter algae

Same red-shoulder hawks return to the nest

Night catches us before the brush fire
beneath the cliff can dwindle down 

Evening sky reflecting in the bottom of a blue
ceramic mug of wine

February 2015

First one of the lambs born. Early morning of February 20.

Hours old.

Two days later.

Full house.

Burn pile flaring up after dark.

St. Frank.

January 2015

This is what the sky looked like on January 3rd.

And five ewes heavy with lamb-child.

Burning off dead winter grasses going down to the Creek.

And cooler.

Random dormant flower stalks posing in front of limestone.

The western side of evening on the Big Flat Rock in the middle of the Creek.
