Description
The herd wanted to go on, and I was in their way. Being sheep, they did not overrun me, but it nearly looked as if they would.Related content

This is a fantastic shot (very funny too)! I love the up close and personal feel to it.

I can imagine you like this one. Yes, I think still that it is one of my best. And making funny shots is especially rewarding, and far from easy.

Lovely shot. One of my teachers used to say: Stay stupid, so you stay sweet. Maybe he was thinking about these sheep?

I wonder whether sheep are really so stupid?
But I am certainly most grateful for the fav once again.

I dont think they are, but they look like they are! As a young girl I always wanted my own little sheep! We lived in Bunnik for a while and our backyard stopped, where a farm started. There were always young cows, pigs and sheep!!!

Bunnik is a very place, too, I think, unless you live too near to the motorway! Great you agree that sheep are not stupid.

We lived in the centre in the Beatrixstraat. The farm at the back of our garden isn't a farm anymore. Its a monument and used by the town hall now. I lived there when I was going to highschool in Zeist. Really loved it. Wouldn't mind to go back there!!!

That is a very nice coincidence. My wife comes from Zeist. My father-in-law still lives there, so I come there very often. A few shots in my galleries are also from that area.

I've been going to the Christelijk Lyceum Zeist. I'm from 1950 and did my exams in 1969. Most of my friends lived there.

O yes, when you're young its to much difference in age. 7 years. Now I'm only going to Zeist to get Indonesian food!!! And our dog had her lessons there for 1,5 years (close to the Slot).

You know. You could have a play on words with the title instead of using "You" use "Ewe" random thought. But it just came to me.

That is cute. I had to look up the word though, to say the truth. One cannot know everything.

Meeting such a herd is indeed a very special experience. They do not run away!

Then you haven't seen the cowardish sheeps of Norway.
They lack honor, they lack bravery, but they never lack wool... which is probably why we accept their cowardness.
But... great shot and concept

Thank you very much for your enthousiastic comment. Interesting that your sheep are such runners, too. I heard this also about Scottish sheep. Perhaps they run away more easily if they used to much space and see few people. In this over-crowded country there are always people somewhere and the meadows are pretty small. So they are used to people. And: a herd is always different!

No problem, and over all, I think most sheeps are cowards... just my opinion though...
