20120314 - Ulshaw

Phah - today I intended getting another pic of some bleaters. On the cycle to work I passed fields and fields of them, bleating away! But the sun was forecast to come out in the afternoon, so I thought I'd get them on the way home instead. On the way home, they'd ALL gone, all of them! Either to another field, or to the very back of the fields I'd passed this morning. They must've known!!!
So, I settled for another sunsetty type pic instead. A bit repetitive, but those bleaters are just too unreliable!

You should probably shoot the Bleaters while you can, or maybe they were the Monty Python variety and flew off. :)

Another beauty.

all the more serene for being a sheep free zone...trust you had your woollies on though, as the air seems so damp..V

Oh dear ~ I hope the bleaters didn't go to the meat packing plant in the sky.....
A beautiful, dreamy image Phillip! :)

A marvelous sunset and scenic. Love the colors and light. Those bleaters should realize that it is a lot better to be photographed then end up on a kitchen table. V

I love looking at misty, layered landscapes. Please take more!

Nothing wrong with another sunset...no 2 are ever the same anyway and I like to see the steeple silhouette there....tis a perfect image !

Superb landscape with the church in the distance. V

This is lovely and dreamy and I love the church emerging from the mist. Sheep, you just can't depend on them.

Great sunset scene, I am sure they will be there in the morning again.
Faye White14-Mar-2012 20:55
They're on to you now... you'll have to bring snacks next time. ;)

This is a lovely scene, no sheep necessary.

No complaints when the sun settiness is this good. The little guys will be there another day.

Pesky little bleaters, they were trying to hide from me too.
