This Is Why I Just Love Salem County, NJ!

While driving back from Oldman's Township yesterday, something off on the side of the road caught my eye.

After swinging the car around, I quietly stepped out and snapped this picture for you.

.......and this one, too. Momma peered a me and turned her attention back to her babies.

I inched up a tad closer, but tried so hard not to upset Momma. She stole a couple of glances at me while I snapped yet another picture.

This is the closest that I could get without feeling as if I was bothering Momma. The lambs were still wobbly on their feet as they hovered near their mother for warmth and protection.

What a beautiful sight........

Have a happy day, everyone. Don't forget to look around and enjoy nature and all that it has to offer us.
