Even in Los Angeles metropolis, you might see bighorn sheep within a 2 hour drive. If fact, the place I shot this herd of bighorn sheep is about 3 miles from interstate I-10 freeway. This place is hot (84F when I saw them) and doesn't look habitable. A herd of 44 desert bighorn sheep just showed up here and made me feel life really finds a way. The year round Whitewater River provides reliable water source and that's why these sheep thrive here.
Big Horn Sheep. I am lucky enough to observe these magnificent animals as closely as in my back yard at times! The most interesting time of the year is the fall, during the rutting season. The males compete over the females including bashing those amazing horns against each other. The force and the sound of each hit goes right through your body! Unbelievable!
The Romney, formerly called the Romney Marsh sheep but generally referred to by the local farmers as the Kent, is a breed of sheep originating in England. The Romney is a "long-wool" breed recognized in England by 1800. Exported to other continents, the Romney is an economically-important sheep breed, especially to the sheep-meat and wool export trades

Again with the annual photos...
Every year we go to the sheep and wool festival, and one of the highlights is the sheep herding demonstration, with the dogs. This year I tried and tried to get the shot I wanted, where you could see the sheep faces and the dog's face as the dog herded the sheep through the manuevers, and convey the sense of motion and mutual awareness, but someone was always butt first...I was there 20 minutes and took 150 photos and came close several times.
But I did get this of the sheep, and lo, the light was perfect and the sheep posed as sheep rarely do...
See last year's photo below. It was one of the confusing one's for me - my third most interesting photo but not explored - I guess magic donkies don't like sheep.

I collected the sheep skull on the Hebridean island of Harris a couple of years ago, and after carefully wrapping it in a polythene bag, I brought it home and cleaned it up using biological washing powder, disinfectant and bleach. (Just as well I used to be a biologist!). After 3 months in a plastic bucket it was ready for rinsing and drying.

This is an old favorite of mine that has been getting a lot of views lately. The sheep were photographed in the Lake District, but anyone familiar with Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales might recognize the far background as the River Swale around Kisdon Hill. The sky in the original sheep photo was totally washed out and after trying several times unsuccessfully to replace it with a better sky, I finally blended the Yorkshire view into the shot. But the arrangement of the sheep is all original and unedited.
"Jesus showed himself to his disciples, and after they had eaten he said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?’ He answered, ‘Yes Lord, you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He replied, ‘Yes, Lord, you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Look after my sheep.’ Then he said to him a third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was upset that he asked him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ and said, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.
‘I tell you most solemnly,
when you were young
you put on your own belt
and walked where you liked;
but when you grow old
you will stretch out your hands,
and somebody else will put a belt round you
and take you where you would rather not go.’
In these words he indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God. After this he said, ‘Follow me.’"

Sheep are a common sight in Scotland. In fact, more common than people! There are nearly 7m sheep compared to 5.3m people. These pictures feature three different breeds; but no idea what they are.
