Farm Fresh

Good morning and welcome to the Minnesota Zoo! My name is George, I'll be your sheep today. Nothing's more fun than wide-angle photos of critters. I took this at the Family Farm at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, MN. For a good wide-angle of a critter, you have to get real close — I was shooting at arm's length. This is also a case where an investment in a protective filter pays off. I wouldn't have been so cavalier with my camera if I was afraid of sheep drool on my expensive lens. Do you know where lanolin oil comes from? Yup, that's why sheep are so sticky — check all the hay stuck to the sides of this guy. I really wanted to pet every one of these fuzzy lil' guys, but I knew I'd spend the rest of the day cleaning my camera. Aw heck, a scratch behind the ears with my knuckles will do. Who can say no to that face?
