Early Morning.

I like the way the light shows up the contours of the hills.

Shearing ......

……. is back breaking work and a great work out.

Well Packed .......

……. sheep, waiting their turn to be shorn.

The Relief.

Of having that big thick woolly coat off, and so pleased that the weather is still warm enough.

The Crew.

Well part of it, and it was so impressive how well they all worked together.

Old Table.

Which has been used for processing the fleeces over many years, it’s beautiful.

Sheepie Brazilian.

I love this fella’s eye, checking out to see who was watching ……

Sheep Waiting ......

……. their turn to be shorn in the wool shed pens.

Old House.

There are some lovely old building scattered around the country side, with an interesting history I imagine.

Moving Sheep.

A regular sight in the country, frustrating at times, but all in a days work.

Daisy Fly.

Flies are quite hairy critters when you see them close up.

Working Bee.

A bee collecting pollen off a thistle flower which was some distance away from where I was standing.

Fairy Time.

The air is full of these “fairies” as the thistles mature. A very beautiful, clever bit of design.
