What are you up to?
Most unusual for me- a one photo post. I can be enigmatic, you know!
More will be revealed later. Meantime, Thursday’s Special, and so is Paula.
A curious Thursday’s Special

So funny and adorable, Jo. What were you doing to make those sheep look at you with such bewildered looks?
I’m ‘catching up’ on your visits in a bleary eyed fashion, Cathy 🙂 It was a ‘girl’s’ night last night and too much wine was imbibed.
Oh, now that sounds like a fun night, Jo! I may be doing that tonight myself. 🙂
Good idea 🙂
Jo, a whimsical scene with which to start the day! 🙂
Their curious gazes remind me some of the creatures we’ve been meeting by our home away from home in Bulgaria. (Lots of goats, horses and cows here!)
Yes- it was a whimsical ending to my day, Tricia 🙂
I’m late up this morning. All that walking must have caught up with me.
Ever a busy bee, Jo!
Very cute. 🙂
🙂
Soooo cute! Sometimes all you need is one shot to tell a story. Love these little guys!
Our fields are full of woolly jumpers right now 🙂
I too find one shot a hard call. It’s one of my blogging challenges when I go home – shot of the week, or one-shot Wednesday or something minimalist.
This one shot is a beauty: I love the almost-but-not-quite horizontal lines of your composition. After a week with the twins I had to resist the urge to say “Baaa” when I saw those sheep.
I’ll sing the nursery rhyme with you, Meg 🙂 I’m chasing my tail a little bit this week. Why is it that some weeks go faster than others?
If I just posted one shot on a regular basis, I’d find myself going down the digital route, seeking perfection. Because there’s usually a raft of them, they always have to speak for themselves. Is that another way of saying I’m lazy? 🙂
Hope all’s well with you.
Love this photo Jo, so cute 🙂
They definitely were. Normally I think sheep are pretty stupid but this trio won my heart. 🙂
I can see why 🙂
Can’t stand the suspense !! 🙂
You could have come for a stroll up the lane with me, David. 🙂
… always one nosy one isn’t there Jo 😉
now have to hurry off for the sequel …..
There was a whole field full of them, Poppy, but a couple were especially endearing. 🙂
They’re definitely checking you out, Jo! They know a lovely woman when they see one! xo
Flattery will get you everywhere, young woman 🙂
He certainly looks very interested in you : )
Hidden depths, Kathryn 🙂
Sometimes it’s nice to be mysterious. I love the brevity and the look on their sweet faces. As they say here – and maybe there – ‘Sup?
They looked so perfectly inquisitive, Gem. I’ve never provided anyone with that much interest in my life! 🙂
Oh. I doubt that. 😉
❤️
I wouldn’t have guessed Jo (that you could be enigmatic)! 😀 They are gorgeous and I love the contrasts in their colouring!
You see! Hidden depths, Madhu 🙂 But not for long- the sequel is up already.
Nice post!
Thanks, Rajiv 🙂
I love this one, Jo. I had more than one for TS 🙂
Only one for TS, Amy 🙂 The sequel is coming right up 🙂
I love that their faces are all a different colour. Filled with curiosity & look of, “just what are you doing?”
Anyone would think I was a suspicious character, Lynn. They didn’t need a guard dog on that farm 🙂
Intriguing for sure. Cute sheep. They remind me of Scotland and New Zealand… while driving across the beautiful countrysides one always comes across so may sheep grazing.
We seem to have loads this year too. These guys were particularly appealing, and so interested 🙂
Love the pastel sky in the background!
So did I, Sammy 🙂 You should be seeing some more soon.
Nice one Jo. Looks like they are talking to you 🙂
I tried not to bring mint sauce into the conversation, Colline 🙂
I suppose you and your camera were the most exciting thing they’d seen all day, Jo. 😀
For at least a month I would think, Ad 🙂
😀
Love this photo Jo. They are curious about what you are doing with that camera. Do you ask them if you could put their photo in the blog? Haha. 🙂
How rude am I? It didn’t occur to me, Sue. Too late now 🙂
Haha carry a waiver and get a good print next time 🙂 love these lambies!
Perfect, an wonderful choice – excellent captured… 🙂
They were just hanging around, Drake 🙂 As sheep do!
‘hahaha’ – I don’t believe sheeps just hanging around – while biking in the moorland – North Yorkshire Moor, I start thinking those sheeps have a master plan they follow… 😀 😀 😀
You might be right. These guys look pretty savvy 🙂
Those sheep weren’t camera shy! Great shot 🙂
They had quite a few woolly friends, too, Suze. It’s obviously been a good Summer for sheep 🙂
Why on earth are the sheep so interested in you ? – are you carrying a load of hay or something ? 😉
You don’t think I’m fascinating? It can be pretty boring being a sheep, you know 🙂
[grin]
I just want to know what you were doing to rouse such interest 😉
Ahh, sheep are easily pleased! 🙂
Great choice, Jo! 🙂 I never knew there’re so many different sorts of sheep until I got to the Lakes. Friendly, curious and the odd angry ones and then again the cutest you have ever seen. I’m sure Paula likes it 🙂 Have a lovely day.
Greetings from Norway, Dina, Siri and Selma
By her own admission, Paula is sometimes fonder of animals than people, Dina. 🙂 And as she will be away on holiday next week I wanted to share a little something 🙂
I should be much busier than I am, but that will come later too! Thanks, Dina. Have a lovely day too!
Mmmmm…..what do those sheep know that I don’t! I am curious.
All will be revealed soon enough, Ann. Curiosity is quite in order 🙂
🙂 I love their ears, for some reason!
Sort of attentive, aren’t they? 🙂
The are so alert – it looks as though they are all listening very carefully to what you have to say. 🙂
Sheep are always good subjects – really like the new look.
I never saw so many as this year! 🙂
A single shot from you?! 🙂 I am loving the idea of you going minimalist. This photo keeps calling me. Do you think they have sheep in Tatry? 🙂 And, thank you, Jo, for this gift. This Thursday is just getting better and better 🙂
There’s a sequel 🙂 It’s bubbling away, dying to be told. You know I can’t just do one, Paula, but I tried. After all, Thursday’s Special, isn’t it? Especially when you’re so close to going counting mountain sheep. 🙂
Dear Jo,
Sometimes one photo says it all! Very cute post.
Not very often in my case, Naomi 🙂 There is a sequel!
They look like escapees from Celie at http://thekitchensgarden.wordpress.com/
They were wishful 🙂
Too cute! Did you come across them on our walk yesterday? Looks like it was a gorgeous evening – hope we didn’t get chilly on the way home? 🙂
There was a purpose to them but I know Paula loves animals. 🙂
That’s nice! 🙂
This takes me way back to when we had milk goats. They were always interested in everything that was moving near or far.They would also bleat when they recognized my mother.or me.
I guess life is pretty boring when you live in a field 🙂
Ha ha that’s a good one! No wonder they get excited when they need to be moved to another camp or spot! 😀
