My Treasured Photos

Watching

The rain pored down all day yesterday. 
This shot was taken in August. These are Blackface Mountain sheep. They are very hardy and thrive in harsh & exposed conditions. This is typical of the mountain land where sheep graze. 

UPDATE:  The red paint is the mark of the owner. As the sheep all roam freely this is the only way they can be identified.
