Marian has sent me the second entry for the Farming Friends Photograph Of the Month Competition for 2008, so thanks Marian.

Marian saw these Lambs earlier in the week. Marian said,  “I don’t know when they were born,  but they look to be growing up very fast, just look at the size of them!.  I don’t know what was in the bucket but they looked as if they were about to investigate when Mum arrived and lead them away.”

Sunk Island sent me a photograph on behalf of one of their friends, Helen, so thanks SI and Helen for this beautiful photograph.

This photograph was taken by Helen from Sunk Island and it shows Stone Creek in December.  The sun shimmering on the tide with the silhouettes of the boats creates a beautiful image.

The piggy photograph I received via email for my December photograph of the month competition really made me laugh - what a great entry from Rebecca @ Irish Sally Garden.

These are Rebecca’s two gloucestershire old spot pigs. They are 5 months old and very heavy! Rebecca knows that because one of them stood on her foot yesterday. She told me that she is going to ask santa for steel toe cap boots! These pigs are two organically reared, rare breed lads free ranging in part of their oak woods. They are big softies, they love to roll over to have their tummies rubbed.
