I was laid flat-out on the grass for this one - when I got up and looked behind me, LOADS of sheep had crept up and were just stood there staring at me! They just don't understand... :o)

LOL...brilliant comments and AWESOME shot !

Wonderful sillywet.
Sheep are just curious, they probably wanted to know if it was the f2.8 or the f4 you were using.
Chris23-May-2010 19:49
The best shot I've seen for some time - magical!
Re the sheep - ask Johnny Jag - he'll have the answer...
laine23-May-2010 18:53
To coin a phrase " It's a well known fact sheep are stupid!! " How could they not get this!! (shakes head)

LOL...and definitely a 'bloody magic' shot, condidering the ninja sheep assassins!
Kevin Chester23-May-2010 18:14
I don't need to say much about this one mate. Bloody magic.
Kevin Chester23-May-2010 18:14
Ah yes, the little known Sheep assassins move. Before you know it theres a Blurr of Wool, your camrera kits gone and 25 sheep are heading towards JJ's house. He has them so well trained. Your lucky you turned around when you did.

Sheep live in a different world that has nothing to do with ours!!
What a great shot this is ..... worth laying down for, and don't worry ... sheep don't trample!!
