Spring is one of the great times to live in the countryside. Lambs are popping up everywhere, gladdening even the flintiest of hearts.

I wanted to call this picture "I has a flavour," but I decided against it.

The only thing about this image that I don't like is that the lamb's tail is tied off near the top. The farmers do this as a means of docking the tail; the tie cuts of the blood supply and eventually the majority of the tail will drop off, having died. Personally I think it's barbaric, but maybe that's just me.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
