‘It’s behind you’ shouted Joe in best pantomime style. I turned on my heels and came face to face with a sheep; literally as it was standing on a bank a couple of feet above me.
If I had taken a step back to centre her in the frame, I’d have fallen in the Kinder river.
She was a bit of a character, she had one ear behind her horn and the other forward, it gave her a jaunty look.
Nice teeth too, we could only conclude she must have been hand reared as a lamb, she greeted us like long lost friends.
And now I’ve got out of sequence with my sheep photos, I’ve not posted shearing at Blaze farm yet and now I’m off up Kinder Scout, I’d best get cracking.




Great sheep shot and story. I especially like the in your face first shot.
I enjoyed wandering off to the stories about the Mass Trespass. So many wonderful rambles in the world . . . so little time.
I’ve just caught up with your last ten posts. I’ve been a bit busy with stuff lately. You probably have been too, so well done for keeping up with writing your blogs. I like the look of Blaze Farm. I think it might be worth a visit over the summer. And the damselfly pictures are even more fantastic than the last ones you took of them. Amazing creatures, amazing photographer!
Hmmm im sure ive come across that sheep.
There are some odd looking ones around there Uphill. It looks like she wanted to come home with you. Nice close up shot
Awesome shot, Uhdd!! Well, they are all awesome, but that first one rocks! That would be totally cool to come across when you’re out on a walk.
Nice post.
Had that happen to me with a horse once. Not sure who frightened who most.
Love your blog keep it up
I like this sheep…very nice photos.
