I took a few snaps this afternoon, sitting on my rock watching Delia with Vitamin accompanied by Ster and Lambie eating the silage bale.
(don’t worry – the others were all given a small silage bales as they refused to walk through the frozen mud to the gate)
It was one of those magical still afternoons. Snow lying around, frozen ground and complete silence, apart from the munching.
Tomorrow is a day I would rather not think about – wind and driving rain – so we all made the most of today’s calm.
Delia was resting, having stuffed herself all morning with silage. She is such a dear old lady.
My bottom got very cold while I watched everyone, sat on my rock.
Vitamin was on a personal mission to make that bale her own, though she was happy to share with the sheep as long as they didn’t invade her space.
Lambie and Ster were, as usual, enchantment. They bounce or eat their way through life very happy knowing that they don’t actually have to ever be sheep.
Lambie has been photographed since birth so he is well aware of what is required to be a top supermodel.
Zoolander eat your heart out. Blue Steel?
Magnum?
Today was special. I will remember it. A rare day of silence in Shetland, weatherwise.
Talk about the quintessential calm before the storm – nothing but munching to be heard…
Thank you for even more gorgeous photos! Lambie has very special fur and your black horses have their own wavelength of color.
Beautiful photos. I especially like the ones of the girls.
