This image doesn’t show the record amount of snowfall or the ridiculously long months of temperatures below freezing with no breaks and little sunshine. However, it does metaphorically sum up my view of Winter 2010. It really did STINK!
Welcome Spring. I’ve reserved a table for us. I hope you like pork.

Yeah Ronnie, I know what you mean.
a Lovely Cloud Dance captured…
This is a wonderful image but, I don’t like thinking about the future of the pigs…..
totally beautiful. inspiring. exceptional.
Thanks for all the kind comments! I’ve been on a short vacation so this was great to come home to see. I like how this image turned out. My only regret is that this wide shot doesn’t show the red roof on the house. Here’s a link to a closer shot: http://bodhilensphotography.com/p1053295329/h290b3546#h290b3546
What a wonderful image! I’m especially drawn to that little house under that big BIG sky….
My favorite part of this image is that active sky. Even the pigs don’t realize they are about to be huffed & puffed and blown down.
Really amazing shot, Jim. That sky, that house, those pigs… Painterly and plendid…I mean splendid 🙂
Jim..this is a plendid image..I wish I could find some pigs to photograph…getting a little tired of the “cattle”..everything about this is perfect!
Wonderful image. It has the tranquil and reverence infused feel of a Millet, but with a completely modern sensibility. Superb Jim!
Superb shot! Awesome colours and detail and this cloudy sky is perfect. Love all the colour range and your point of view. And, excuse me, I’m with Catharine and is this past winter inspires images like this one, I wish for more bad weather too! I will wait for your Spring shot also. Cheers!

Well, well, well, this is one fine photo. It’s been a average winter for us in southern New England…except for the couple of nor’easters that blew through. It was raining cats and dogs for awhile.
Being vegetarian I’d rather see the happy pigs in this beautiful image of yours Jim, than be eating them! If a hard winter inspires this kind of photography from you dare I wish for more bad weather!! Now you’ll have to give us a Spring one to make me change my mind.
Excellent work as usual.
