Sheep...imagine that

Wherever I go...well, you know...
 And sometimes they wear blankets...
 View of the South Fork River Valley, Lincoln County, NC...
 My people have lived here since the 1760s
 Wistful sheep...
 Sheep...playing rugby?
 This looked like a falcon!
 Mrs. Cardinal
 Mr. Cardinal
 Racketty Blue Jays
 Horses and goats aplenty...
 And little burros!
 And sheep...
 Staring at me...
 Well, not always...
 And cows...
 Woolly bully!
 We also found sheep in Wythe County, VA!
 Wish they didn't have access to farm equipment...
 Have these people never seen Shaun the Sheep?
 These have horns...
And these? Well, looks like they have a patch of heaven.

I 'm glad to know you're paying attention to the animals around you and the messages they bring to you. Of course, messages are all around us,but you've been made aware of the sheep for a particular reason. You can google good information for yourself, but here is one tidbit I found...

"Sheep can show how to maintain balance and have confidence in situations and abilities, teaches how to move in the physical with agility, camouflage and blending with surroundings, teaches a sense of togetherness and community along with showing how to make life easy and promote serenity. Sheep instills a sense of protection and alertness with peace of mind and heart. Are you moving in the direction you should be going? Are going with or against what you know to be true? Are you protecting yourself enough and/or remaining centered in peace? Sheep wisdom can help in understanding your place and perceptions within the scheme of things."

Love the great pics!

Sheep are social animals...they need to be in a flock...they want to stay within sight of each other. Yes, there is much to be learned from the animals around us. Thanks, Jo!

I love to see the sheep. We used to drive by a meadow with sheep and two Great Pyrenees guarding them. What a beautiful sight. I loved your photographs.

There are no sheep in this city so it's very pleasant to see then in your blog post. What gorgeous country.

Great photos. It's been a while since I (another Tarheel in the Upper Midwest) have visited your blog.
