This sheep! I went to the coast near Aberdeen with hubby yesterday as he wanted to go mackerel fishing and his usual buddy was otherwise engaged. I went a) because it was a nice day, b) because I knew the coast would be good for photos and c) because I'm not keen for him to be out on the rocks alone. Anyway, we had a lovely morning, but he only caught 3 mackerel!
I thought the birds would be the stars of my show, but in fact it was this sheep. She was a beauty and I spent about an hour with her trying to get her to look up. All her friends gathered around, curious as ever, but she was only interested in grazing. Eventually I got a few nice shots of her!
What a great subject! Persistence pays—you did get this wonderful non-grazing shot. Three mackerel is more than I would have gotten. But then, I’ve never enjoyed fishing. I would have spent my time with you and the sheep.
I could easily have your same three reasons. Even if they don’t get shorn, I wish someone would just trim around its eyes. It seems like it would be effectively blind.
