I escaped to Vermont for a week or so mid-August. We ended up visiting my friend Lisa in Woodstock who took us to Shepherd’s Hill Farm. Set up on the hills of the Ottauquechee River Valley, this working sheep farm boasts spectacular views. I ran into many of the farm’s residents, featured below.
I combined a number of photo references and used some artistic license to try for an interesting composition in a square format.
The giant white Great Pyrenees goes by Samson. He’s basically a polar bear.
