The Sheep Minder

It is absolutely hammering down with rain again and I'm told it's set in for the next few days. Rather than a selfie of me clawing at the windows, it's a capture that I took just the other day.

I stopped at a field gateway to have a look at the view and realised that this horse had looked up to inspect me. Now I almost had the impression that he was saying, "Don't worry Larry Lamb, I've got you covered". He was wearing his security badge on the front of his coat and was armed with a good set of nashers and looked as if he had cocked his rear leg for action.

I'm just wondering if my mind is going overboard again and in fact he was looking to see if I had any sugar lumps or polo mints in my hand. It finally got bored of looking at me and returned to munching on the grass.

Thank you for all your comments on my view yesterday. As you can see I'm living in a very hilly area which isn't good as I'm getting older.
nice...fav

A lovely horsey shot! I am feeling a bit tired of this weather too - it hardly ever seems to get light.

Lovely shot Heather, At least the hills keep you above the water level!

He is definitely interested in you! Nicely captured and I hope your bad weather is over soon.

Sure this is a new jacket as it still has the creases of the packet, so just goes to show what a smashin clear photo you took.

Sounds like you have a bit of cabin fever :) Just don't let the rain wash away your brain!! Nice protective horse, of course!

He / she looks kind but I am no judge as I got bitten by a donkey at a children's petting Zoo

Great shot.

I do hope his smart coat will keep him warm and dry out in the field.

Perhaps you clawing at the window would still be entertaining.....nice horse just the same!
