On one of our recent walks, I took the Nikon D3000 – after making sure it had the SD card in, for it’s no fun lugging it about without said card. Along the way, the sheep looked particularly photogenic.
Above: Merino sheep Below: the same sheep in the bigger picture. See the scenery I have to put up with on my walk. The autumn-turned trees are making a splash along the service road, beyond that home.
A flock of coloured sheep are on another property. Since they grazed in a long line, I’ve split the scene in two. Some are still shedding their wool.
And then I said to Mr R., “look, more sheep!” He pointed out they are the same sheep as before, and so they were, for now we walked on the other side of the paddock. I still took another picture, of course.
Thanks for looking.

I know about these wool-shedding shoops: they do look awful, mid-shed ! My younger sister and her husband have some: don’t matter from what angle you shoot ’em, they still look tatty ! Of course. 😀

I am assuming you have carried a camera around before without an SD card. Feel so sorry for you, terrible place you have to endure.

More than once, Sue. I never realise until I’m looking in the viewfinder and I get the missing SD card symbol!

Merinos, they make the best wool, don’t they? And I’ve found sheep such curious creatures they’ll follow you from field boundary to the next field boundary.

Merino wool is extra fine. A lot sheep bred for wool will be some sort of Merino cross, giving a heavier fibre. I think sheep that are being fed rations will follow you – the ones on grass alone soon get out of the habit and will go the opposite direction. (I used to be married to a sheep-farmer, a few decades ago!)

Ah, the expert. I only know from my walks. I usually find the flock flees, while one brave soul, of sometimes three, comes to investigate me… and stares, and stares, and stares

They sound like the over-protective mothers. Sometimes they’ll stamp at you. I know the ones you mean.

I think of them as models… they like to pose for photos
