Sheep

I love sheep – I could stand and watch them for hours.  Dozy they might be, but they have such personality.  These were taken today – its been sunny, but still freezing with a sprinkle of snow, not good for these little creatures and the mortality rates are suffering with the weather.

BTW the sunlit photos are hardly tweaked with Photoshop – in the new shed the light falls against the back wall, it was just beautiful and the sheep posed beautifully.

Are you ready for LOTS of sheep pictures?

    Yes sheep can be nice, but let's face it they are born with a death wish!! I know I have looked after them in the past, doesn't stop them being cute!! Glad water is receeding, shame about the neighbour guess they are in no hurry to move on.
    Hope Star is keep well.
    Keep well

    Just noticed the lambs in our part of the Borders have started wearing what appear to be plastic carrier bags. The Sainsburys ones are the most stylish. Your indoor flock look much more comfortable - what a gentle enquiring intelligent face in that last photo - surely not a real sheep?!
