Notice how quickly the shepherd guy and the pace donkey ended up ahead of the flock?

Want to see more woollies? You'll find all the sheep photos posted so far this year here. And that cute overload known as lambing season can be found right here.

Maybe there's a lot of interesting 'stuff' to investigate so it slows them down.

OK, you have 4 dogs, but the photographer has to do the work?
ReplyDeleteI love spotting the dogs in between the sheep!
ReplyDeleteDoes Buddy Bear not herd the sheep?
ReplyDeleteToo much good stuff to eat on the way!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful picture's of the sheep grazing. I love the scenery, and the dogs seem to be enjoying themselves also.
