quiet contemplation of a sheep's earlobe by jantan

quiet contemplation of a sheep's earlobe

I love the tradition of agricultural shows, and Moreton-in-Marsh show every September is my favourite one. Plenty to see and do for all the family, but without being too big and too commercial like a lot of the shows have become these days.

I love to watch the young handler competitions where the next generation of farmers learn their showing skills. This little boy and his sheep waited patiently in line for quite some time for their class to be judged, both extremely relaxed and obviously very comfortable in each other's company, they seemed to be lost in a world of their own.

Also, you know the feeling when you come up with a title that you feel almost certain has never been used before..................
really great to see these two together

I have to say Pat , this is one of my favourite photos I have ever taken, and funnily enough when I uploaded it I thought that it might resonate with you with your agricultural background and your family who have carried on the tradition. So, Thanks! ;0) @happypat
