'Straya Day

Today is Australia Day and we went out into the country for a ride. I've been wanting to take a picture of the sheep like this for a while.
Hope you like it, thanks for your comments.

@thresheg @pammerritt @gilbertwood thanks for the lovely comments, so many wonderful trees, this one had sheep too! Had to use it today of all the shots I took.

[tony gig]

Fabulous capture.

[Babs]

So Australian. It certainly looks a bit warmer where you are than up here today. Wet and cool today after a huge storm last night.

[Lyn Berriman]

Very Australian, and yet, very South African too! Super image, fav for me.

[Hazel]

A feeling of space in your shot even though the sheep are clustered under the tree!

[Ukandie!]

Lovely capture.

[👑 AnaZad]

Great capture and glad you enjoyed the national day.

[Milanie]

What a wonderful natural capture - love the huddled sheep with that massive tree.

[vstap]

A beautiful pastoral scene. The understated color really adds to this.

Happy Australia day for yesterday. We had a picnic at the beach.

@tonygig @lynnilou @quietpurplehaze @ukandie1 @anazad511 @milaniet @vstap thanks all for your lovely comments, it was an iconic shot I couldn't resist, as much the colours as the subject @judyleigh thanks Leigh, that's what all Aussies should do on this day!

[Kathy]

I'm glad I read all the comments. I like to see what other parts of the world look like and apparently this is a very typical scene for your part. The tree is huge and so pretty. I, being a knitter, love to see all the sheep. Hope you had a good holiday.

[Rachel]

That is such an Australian shot. Great for Australia Day. I hope you had a great day!

[Sheralee S]

Very typical Australian shot... nice one Wylie!

[Taffy]

It's so sweet to see the way the animals have gathered under the tree.

[Sam]

It certainly looks like a typical Australian bush scene :)
