Their faces are not very pretty but they are very friendly :)
They are my grandchildren's pet lambs (well, they are sheep now). They survived a major fire on their property when they were tiny and more recently another earthquake and they will go on surviving as long as they can graze. They will never become roast dinners, although they will loose their wool a few times.
I believe they do not realize they are sheep as they follow humans around, and the hens, or the dog.
They are standing by the fence here waiting for their evening treat. Healthy sheep food, and the occassional gingernut which they have a particular liking for and will come running if they hear the rattle of the biscuit tin. Having a sheep eat a biscuit out of my hand was quite a strange thing.

They are true survivors escaped fire, earthquake and the knife. My neighbor had two fat ones. They too came running no matter who was calling. Good shot of the pair Lyn.

I bet they have some stories to tell LE.
Good shot.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I peeked trough the current entries of the 'Faces' contest, and didn't see this image (yet), Lyn.
I suppose however that this will be your entry, as it's a very suitable one.
If so, 'Good Luck' with it my friend!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

Talk about SPOILED lambs. Glad they are enjoying life and will continue to do so.

Sheep must be peaceful animals to have around. They certainly look contented. I like the composition. Very nice!
