.......this is what you would expect to see travelling over Saddleworth Moor - there are more sheep than cars and they roam across the Moorland crossing the road here and there - twice I stopped today to let them go over - baaaaaaa! thank you Maam! :)

Patti, the sheep is either already escaped and is looking back at its handy-work or it is about to escape and is checking out the details. A funny and very interesting shot from you today!

she is actually standing at the side of the road, and the sheep roam freely about this part, so nooooo she is not planning her escape - I think this is just one of her regular pathways! :)

Another good one. Great focus on this. I know all about these places where sheep roam free, I was told recently if you hit one in the car you gotta pay the farmer £50 so he can get rid of it.

What a cute shot Patti. She looks as if she has a tough decision to make. Whether to cross thru the opening or stay where she belongs, like a good little sheep. LOL!

Aww...how sweet she looks! I love this whole composition. Your DOF is great. If I were there I'd get out of my car and try to pet them ... of course they'd probably run :)

I think we have a hard job 'edicating' the colonials in our moorland pastures Patti!...They cannot believe or understand the reason our sheep roam free here!..

A simple scene, but well shot at an interesting angle

Wow..this is indeed excellent...the DOF is perfect and I love the fence in this one again. Out of all of your shots, for some reason, this one makes me think of your countryside the most. Right into the favs!

Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.

That's an awesome picture! It reminds me of back home, when the sheep would always go through the fence into our yard, and then could never get back to their field. I love it!
