More little goats hopping around, and checking out their world. I didn’t get to touch them, but they look incredibly soft.

Goats, Yes They Are Cute
Middleton Place has acquired some new smaller goats. Sorry I don’t know the breed. About four weeks ago three does gave birth: two sets of twins and one single.
We were at the stable yard when the animals were being fed and a worker told us that they had a scare when they couldn’t find the kids that morning. Turns out they were all tucked in this half barrel together.
I wasn’t quite prepared for them to be so nimble.

Dolphin Surprise in Ashley River
Ted spotted the unmistakable swirl of a Dolphin as we walked along the river. I had the short 14-42mm lens on my camera, and no time to change as we knew from experience the opportunity would be short.
I got to an opening in the foliage and spotted the Dolphin well out of range down the river towards Charleston. Darn!
Then another surprise–two more Dolphin were following behind the first. These photos exceeded my expectations considering the low light and it was the first time I had used that lens.

Camellias, In Camera Focus Stacking
The OM System OM-1, Mark II has a built in focus stacking feature that creates a jpg image in camera using up to 15 images. After a few still life test shots at home I tried it on some Camellias after an overnight rain.
The resulting images are probably not noticeably better than the first image of the set of 15 but I think with some practice and exploring the other camera options they could be.
