Oh how I love Sheep! I captured this shot while at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival an incredible sheep and yarn fiber festival held the first weekend in May every year. I have been attending for over fifteen years and it is an incredible experience. Every year it gets better and better and more and more people are attending. You spend two days going through booth after booth, buying hand-dyed fibers and yarns, knitting and weaving goodies. You go through barn after barn, seeing all the different sheep that have come to market. I came across these two adorable sheep and I wanted to capture them together and I did in black and white! I am always playing with my camera. So I thought it would be perfect for the photo prompt this week. Sheep are loving, gentle, quiet, precious and oh so adorable. I have loved them as long as I can remember. I know that is why I have always enjoyed my weaving and knitting. Hope you enjoy my photo! Decided to add this shot my sister took of me that same weekend. Look at those curly locks! See I told you I loved sheep! |
