Sheepish

In the middle of this shot you see the absolute devotion to drink from Mama Sheep even though he’s almost as heavy as she is! What Mama’s have to do!
This is across the road and the adolescent lambs are doing so well with the green field!
Three good things:
1. Helped John put a wooden edging by our daffodil display to replace a rotten one!
2. Chocolates for half time in the rugby television. There just happened to be four games!
3. Reading a new book by Bill Bryson… ‘more notes from a small island” UK, of course. Hilarious!

It does look well time for those lambs to be shifted to a different paddock away from their Mums.. and tails docked .. they look very well grown.

[Maggiemae]

The sheep all appear in this paddock with their lambs at this time - don't know who owns them but they would have been early lambs @julzmaioro

[Bep]

These sheep look very well grown.
Love your #3. I enjoyed reading Bill Bryson's books 'At home; a short history of private life' and 'A short history of nearly everything'.

[FBailey]

Think most of the lambs over here are separated quite early on - she's very patient to put up with it!

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje I'll have to look for those, thanks Bep! I've got "Down Under' which is waiting for me to read!

[Brennie B]

They butt and pull so..poor mum...
That book is soooo funny

[Maggiemae]

@brennieb For a lamb that size, there is plenty of grass around to eat. She/he is just a Mummy's boy!

[Linda Godwin]

The whole flock seems well nourished.

sweet shot of maternal devotion! beautiful color against the green too.
Four games sound like lots of good chocolate!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Any excuse, Katy!

[KWind]

Great capture!

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL! that is why I like you! ♥

[Valerie Chesney]

Couldn't stop looking at this photo.....it reminded me so much of an old "pastoral painting." Beautiful... Chocolates any time!!!

[Maggiemae]

@happysnaps thanks Valerie! The greens of the pasture and the woolly shapes of the sheep!

[Diana]

Great capture of these huge woolly bundles. That sure is a big baby ;-)

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana He's going to be too big for Xmas Lamb thats for sure!

[Babs]

Niceshot the grass is so green

[Sally Ings]

A mother's lot is never over! So did you get four lots of chocolates? Since there would have been four half times.....

[Lou Ann]

Love this scene! Yum, chocolates!

[Krista Marson]

what cuties

[gloria jones]

Neat pastoral capture

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely image.

[Pat Knowles]

Time they were weaned I reckon! Poor mum must be fed up of them! He needs a dummy! I love Bill Bryson!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Its interesting - these sheep suddenly appear in this field opposite us then suddenly disappear!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Just eating the grass off perhaps! Perhaps they give them all a good gorge on a fresh field of grass then off to market! 😫

[Kerri]

Awesome shot
