Those "sheep" are very realistic at first glance Rosa..............and I love that gnarled old oak tree. It looks like it's taken a lightening strike at some time in the past.

A gorgeous image, beautifully composed..!!
17 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Yes they are Keith. I think they may have moved slightly since I took their picture last year ;-)
You could be right about the tree. I never see anyone to ask. It is not far from the 1,000 year old tree near Silton Church, known as Wyndham's Oak.

Many thanks for your kind comment Keith.

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition
There are lots of concrete cows in Milton Keynes, and I am sure I saw a sheep or two...
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!

A lovely scene with a great old tree and dry stone wall, Rosa. It's not surprising that the sheep seem likely to stay (for a long time). :-)

Very cute, Rosa! And they probably don't eat much ;-) Do they multiply?? ;-))
BTW, you're photos often don't show up in my latest preview :-( I have no idea what's causing this...
17 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
They haven't multiplied in the years I have known them Edna ;-)
I don't know why my photos don't show up in the preview Edna. Someone else told me the same. I think it happens sometimes to me that I don't see everyone's latest....must be a glitch in the system :-(

I am pleased that you found this shot though and I thank you for your kind comments

Alive or not, these sheep keep the lawn in good condition ;-)
A venerable tree that is still well alive and in full bloom.. What a strong impression in a so charming setting.
I wish you a very pleasant Sunday, Rosa.

Thank you Eric. I try to visit a couple of times each year to make sure the tree is still alive and the flock of sheep are still happy ;-))
