#SheepOfMastodon #Photography #Defaidodon

A peaceful rural scene featuring sheep resting and standing in a grassy pasture under a dramatic, cloudy sky.

In the foreground, a heavily fleeced sheep with small, curved horns is resting comfortably on the green grass. It is positioned in the lower-left to center-left area, looking directly forward toward the camera with a calm expression.

A larger, standing sheep with a very long, shaggy, dark grey-to-black fleece is positioned further back on the right side of the frame. It is turned slightly to the left, appearing to look across the field.

The sheep are on a vast, green meadow with patchier, dry grass mixed in. In the far background, a dense line of lush green trees forms a soft barrier between the field and the horizon.

I haven’t seen the #sheep for days, as they have been out on the high ground, enjoying the sun, and not coming in at night. They are regrowing their wool nicely and it’s starting to feel soft again.
No biscuits for them today.

I still haven’t lost any of the neighbours’ sheep. If I stand and talk to them they come closer, easier to count. Some are still looking at the gate, maybe hoping that food is following.

#Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon

Photo of some Llanwenog sheep - white with black faces and legs, fuzzy cheeks and forelocks - in a grass field. Half are facing the camera, the other half are looking to the left at a gateway I’ve come through.
There’s a cloudy blue-grey sky above the mature boundary hedge.

Edit: this Toot will get edited when new tags are shared.

A vintage-style sepia photograph, presented as if on a film strip with sprocket holes and artificial scratches, captures a concentrated moment. Cynni is crouching on natural, rocky terrain among sparse bushes at Burgers' Zoo, fully focused on framing a picture. They look intently through the viewfinder of a black Nikon Coolpix P500 digital bridge camera, which they hold firmly with both hands. Their expression is one of deep concentration as they peer through the lens. Their left arm, featuring a complex stylized text tattoo, is bent, and a few rings are visible on their fingers gripping the camera body. They wear a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and a dark baseball cap with white sunglasses perched on top. A Nikon-branded camera strap hangs around their neck. The background is a natural-looking zoo enclosure with other blurred figures of visitors visible in the far distance. The composition is a candid, close-up shot emphasizing their focus.

Smurfs Log: Lucky

* Not only was I lucky enough to see a stoat up close today (see previous post), but this afternoon I finally found some of those tiny, fluffy, woolly creatures other people have been spotting. This one was kind enough to bring her two little lambs with her, too.

No lambs yet but she does look ready to pop soon. The slimmer sheep is her companion so she doesn’t get lonely. Lucky companion gets treats too. In fact, she was most eager!

#Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon #NotMySheep

A photo of two ewes in a very green grass field under a grey cloudy sky. The sheep have creamy white fleece with a tuft on the forehead over black faces. Their legs are also black. The ewe on the left is rather wide as she is due to lamb soon.

Lambs in the mist

#Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon

A photo of a chunky lamb in a field, sheep lying down in the fog beyond. They are white with brown splotches, like a chocolate marble cake. They have brown cheek splotches in particular and are looking at the camera inquisitively.

Photo of another lamb, this time grazing. They are brown with white splotches. They look like a mini cow.
