Black Faces and Earrings (PiP)

Two splendid portraits. I've become rather fond of sheep over the years. I think we underestimate them.

Thank you very much Jean. They were very sweet and inquisitive. The one in the PiP made me smile as he kept gazing at us, all the time chewing on the piece of grass in his mouth.

Like a farmer's boy chewing a straw.

My thoughts were similar, - I thought cowboy!

Superbe portrait avec note. Nicole. Très bonne semaine.

Thank you very much Nicole. Really appreciated. Have a good week.

Remarquable portrait et série... Bonne semaine salutaire...!

Thank you very much Malik. Really appreciated. Have a good week.

Gorgeous, Carol! I found the Hebridean sheep irresistible. Here in Australia we mostly have fat woolly mérinos, and with our dry, dusty summers it is rare to see a white sheep...they tend more to a yellow/grey/red complexion depending on the colour of the dust in their home landscapes. The well washed UK sheep are refreshing to an Antipodean eye!

Thank you very much Diana. I am pleased you like it. They really are adorable and we don't have any like this at home either. Yes, there is plenty of rain around to keep them clean! Have a good week

Phenomenal pair! Stay well!

THEY REMIND ME OF CUMBRIAM HERDWICK SHEEP

Thank you very much Pam. Really appreciated. I always think of Herdwick sheep as Beatrix Potter sheep! She left her farms and land and Herdwick sheep to the National Trust. The fells farrms were to be rented at a reasonable cost and only pure bred Herdwick sheep should be kept.

Wonderful animal portrait.

Thank you very much Jaap. Really appreciated

A beautiful portrait!
Stay safe and healthy, Carol.

Ils sont magnifiques et ils ont l'air bien gentils aussi !***************
Bonne soirée Carol.

Hermosa cabeza de carnero.

Auf unserer einstigen Rundreise lagen sie manchmal auf der Strasse oder am Wegesrand, Carol.
Starkes Tierportrait.
Freundliche Grüße, eine gute Woche und Gesundheit

It very kindly posed for this superb portrait but chewing the grass in the pip is a favourite, two lovely images.

J'aime beaucoup le voir....il est si Beau **************

:D

nice
wish you a serene day!

a beautiful portrait

Excellent, lovely capture.
Stay well ;-)

Great portraits and, as Diana mentioned, quite unlike almost all the sheep here. I was interested in the 'earrings' which look very much like the eartags used here - they identify the animal and property, which helps for tracking any animal health issues.

The sheep would probably be happy to take off its "earrings" if it could. :))
Wonderful portraits, Carol!

Wonderful capture.

That’s a beautiful portrait, Carol !

Il a une bonne tête ! **************

Ein schönes Tierportrait!

Wow, what a beauty, and I like her earrings. :)

This song was tailor made for your images.

Wishing you a nice Sunday, Carol!

Two superb shots Carol. If I had to choose a favourite, I think it would be the PiP...but only just! I like them both :-))

GREAT PORTRAIT ! *****
Didn't know the singer ... She is very good !
Have a lovely new week, dear Carol.

Two super portraits of the fine sheep of Skye Carol. I love the facial expressions, almost seem to be saying 'take your photograph and be on your way tourist.' The sheep of Skye and presumably other Western Isles sheep always seem to be so clean, must be all the regular showers of rain that they enjoy

All the best, Doug

Wow, a really beautiful portrait...

beau portrait***************

Fantastic portraits, both of them! A proud sheep still in its winter coat:-)

Fine portraits of this curious looking sheep !!!

Excellent portrait! It seems that it needs a hairdresser too! ;-)

lovely portrait!
