Put your best foot forward

These freshly painted Herdwick sheep were on their way back to the fields when we passed by on our walk today. I think the sheepdogs were keen for them to get a move on.

For some reason every time I see this image the song Step in Time from Mary Poppins comes into my head. Love it!

@dianeburns @onewing @maree_sanderson @laroque @vera365 @paulavdmerwe @bkbinthecity @dyanstevens @craftymeg thanks everyone

[ChristineL]

@pasttheirprime thanks for the advice. There were so many sheep in the original photo I tried a few crops but was really undecided which was best. I think I was trying to get too many sheep in the frame so in the end I went with that one, but I like your idea very much!

[maree_sanderson]

just a quick question...why are they painted...

[ChristineL]

@maree_sanderson when the sheep graze on common ground the famers use different colour schemes to identify which ones belong to them.
