Zelda is six or seven years old by now, she is one tough and determined ewe. At the first Bedlam Farm, she climbed over and under fences, broke through them, knocked me and Red over a half dozen times. At our new farm, she led a breakout through the new fences and up busy Route 22, Red in hot pursuit up a busy two-lane highway with racing trucks and cars.

Red got her back, and the others as well. She  has settled down. She and Red have a peaceful working arrangement, she mostly ignores Fate unless she gets too close, then she runs her off. Zelda has strength and character. It was sad when she lost her lamb last year, we were hoping for the next generation Zelda, and she was downcast for days. I doubt she will get another chance at motherhood. I tried to capture her strength and focus in this photograph. It was taken with my new 35 mm lens.
