Hark! Who Goes There?

Uploaded: July 12, 2009

Description


This is the sheep I featured yesterday. Here, he's re-connecting to the wilderness! (I thought at first, the deer outside the pen was a yard ornament; but no, it was the real thing as I discovered when she ran away.)

A great weekend (what's left of it) to everyone!

WOW! What a cool capture Nadya! When do we ever see something like this??? I love the plush greenery being in the caged area with your surreal friend!!! Makes life in there look pretty good! So nice to see your sheep from yesterday. I recognized the face right away.

I love the show of freedom on one side and bondage on the other.

Beautiful animals and image! -Laura #7730222

Thank you all for taking time to look and for leaving such terrific comments! I had to crop this a bit... I was some distance from the pen. As you can tell, they were wary even so. It was as though I interrupted a private conversation. LOL! #7730683
