Shrek ears and lamb





Whilst out walking yesterday I noticed an old fence post with what I think is lichen growing on it which looks just like Shrek's ears!
What do you think?

I went back for a photo today before it got covered in the snow that's been forecast and spotted this lamb, which is the first I've seen this year.




When I got back home it did begin to snow and it's now white over, but after all the snow we had last Winter I'm not so excited this time - more wary of how long it will last!

  1. Definitely Shreks' ears.......how funny is that?....

    I hope that lamby has his Winter woollies on, sounds like he's going to need them and you to Georgia.

    Tshirt and thongs (flip flop type!!) here today.

  3. How wonderful nature is!!!

    Every time I see lichen growing now I'll think of Shrek ears :) Clever you, the name is wonderful!

    Love the mama lamb and baby. We live in an urban area, but my heart belongs to rural towns and so forth.

    Have a great day!

  8. oh they do look like Shrek ears! Wow!

    I'm disappointed that 3 inches of snow landed here yesterday - I wish it came overnight tonight and got me a day of school on Monday, hehe!

    I'm thinking about going out to build a snowman but I'm not sure I can really be bothered!

  10. Love the ears!
    Blimey, that lamb is early - I'm sure the farmer will make sure it's safe and warm though.
