The Farmer.

I love this picture of my youngest son Anthony.
He loves his farming life in NZ & this is a typical photo of him with some of the eight dogs they own.
He did some sheep dog trials whilst I was there & won a tray for the highest maiden dog competing. A maiden dog is one that has not competed before.
It was exciting watching & there was a great community spirit amongst all the competitors.

It looks very different to sheep farming here, don't think I've seen a bare legged shepherd before! I like your viewpoint for this photo!

[Anne-Marie Taylor]

Cool shot! Like all the dogs with him

[Judith Greenwood]

What a lifestyle! No wonder he loves it. A lot of work training up 8 dogs mind you - lovely one man and multiple dogs shot!
