CURIOUS

CURIOUS

Uploaded: November 17, 2012

Description


---
On Thursday, I and my friends, Jeannie and Becky took a random ride through a part of rural Bucks County. REALLY RURAL!
---
After exploring the Stover-Myer Mill and grounds over the road from this farm, we crossed over to watch the activity in a barnyard that was chock full of sheep, goats, and cows of every shape and size.
---
In my experience it's difficult to get sheep to look up from their grazing, as it is to interest horses in cameras (unless, of course, one has brought some apples!). Cows are another story altogether.
---
But this little group of sheep (apart from the hugely fat one having a rest) seemed VERY interested in us!

That's something I never see around here...Sheep! Wonder why...Cows are the best. They always looks so surprised. LOL #10422442

Well, these sheep are really well fed, aren't they. I think they loved your camera. #10422599

Really like this Barnyard Capture.
As for the FAT SHEEP being " ALERT " is all related to the probability for becoming a CROWN ROAST or a Garlic & Pepper crusted Leg of Lamb . Stew is also a tasty possibility ;o)
Great Shooting

Lamb isn't anywhere near the top of my favorite meats, so these critters wouldn't have to fear me! Wonderful composition and detail, Michelle! #10422676

Lovely image, Michelle! Sheep are so beautiful and you've captured some curious ones here! I have had a bit of time as well trying to get them to look up while they're grazing! #10423316

How clever of you to go around with treats for the animals! Wonderful barnyard scene, Michelle, so beautifully composed. Had a big laugh when I read your comment yesterday...so funny that I showed it to my hubby. But you know, it's true!!! #10423529

Lamb: the other red meat. Beautiful rural scene, Michelle!! #10423570

Beautifully captured, Michelle!

I think they were a male and female, as the smaller one was calling (males call and are smaller). Lots of tadpoles anyway :-) #10423591
