Life goes on!

Life goes on!
It may be cold but at least its dry, these sheep may be thinking. We see here a scene taken again, only 30 minutes walk from my front door. The background tree and fences are favourite past photo subjects for me. As I took this, some parts of our country were having vey heavy snowfalls.

Enjoy and keep safe. Herb

Sheep always add a litle something to a landscape I feel Herb. Of course they have encouaged many tpes of fencing and dry walls over the centuries too. The results are mostly pleasing to my eyes at least

Lucky you Toz, we see mainly other houses but our surrounding garden and trees gives us some isolation. We do have nbg views from some of our higher windows though.

Do they stay out even in Winter?

Herb Riddle club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
Of course Daniela. Our sheep are very hardy and are bred to keep warm. Only the farmer has to give them extra food.

It's amazing how snow transforms an ordinary field to something quite wonderful and this is a perfect example of that Herb.

I love the light (of course) and the blue of the sky..........and also the contrasting silhouettes of the trees, especially those along the fence line.

Great to see the sheep in the shot for extra interest! Nice job sir!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
You are quite right Keith. O love it when the snow is even deeper and then the whole world goes quite as the snow dampens all noise too. You know already how I love light. i have another taken on this same walk with better light but not quite as interesting. I might post that one too.

Keep safe. Herb

Cold and dry is preferable to wet and windy any day Herb!
Snow really does do something quite magical to a scene, and this is beautiful.
Cheers, Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Good to see you again Rosa. We try to do our twice weekly walks no matter what the weather but as you say, far better when its dry and preferably warm. I think you know how much I enjoy the snow.
