Just For Ewe

Ethel And Maude
These two seem to be chatting...I couldn't hear about what.

Moe, Larry And Curly
This trio was very interested in the crazy lady with a camera.

One of my favorite subjects to photograph, as you may have concluded, are farm animals, and living in a rural area, photo opportunities present themselves fairly often. There is an abundance of cows and horses but my very favorite...sheep are not as plentiful. So you can imagine my excitement, the other day, when I came across a huge flock of willing participants.

The jackets that they are wearing are not for warmth but designed to protect their fleece.

These photos were taken in Shelburne, Massachusetts.
I have no idea if the sheep really have names, I just named them!

Sunny, they are so cute. I didn't know they put the little coats on them.

I was so busy looking at their 'mufflers' I didn't notice the coats. I think the first picture is great, I swear the sheep nearest the camera is smiling.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for sheep. I just don't know what it is I love about them. When we were in Ireland last summer I loved seeing them all over the place. They painted them pink and blue to figure out whose were whose as they let them roam pretty free.

I love those faces.

I've never stared directly into a sheep's face before, Sunny, didn't realize it was so bare and had a slight human quality to it!

Lucy the Cat said...

I love this, Sunny! I love Ethel and Maude chatting in the top pic!

Lois said...

I think you picked out some excellent names for these sheep Sunny! They are very photogenic too.

Dory and the Mama said...

Awesome shots Sunny!

Doesn't matter if the coats are for warmth or not...those look like some comfy toasty sheep!

James said...

They really are great looking animals. I love their hairdos and their sweaters. :)

Great shots! I think you may be onto something - driving around taking pictures of other people's farm animals ;-). Just kidding kids...sorta.

imac said...

Very cute - Baaa to the sheep.

Krista said...

*GASP* Sheeeepiees! I would love to get a chance to photograph these lovies!

They are sheep in... sheep's clothing! LOL!

Lori Skoog said...

Ah, ok, I understand about the jackets now, I was really wondering about that. They have a LOT more wool than my mom's sheep - obviously a different breed! I just love these shots w/ them all bundled up! heheheee

Glad I came over -I love the close ups of the sheep!

These are great photos, it is like they stopped and posed for you. They may have coats on to protect their fleece but sure do look snug and warm too. Thank you for sharing these wonderful furry faces! I appreciate you joining us for 'Face of the Week'! Thank you.
