Derbyshire sheep

[highlyeccentric]

A friend and I stayed in Hartington for a few days in July, and I'm still working through posting the backlog of photos. For some reason, Tumblr really likes my photos of sheep.









More sheep, some cows, and landscapes, queued up at speculumannorum.

Tumblr likes your sheep because they are lovely! Also I can't recall seeing sheep on Tumblr much, so they're probably also notable for their scarcity.

That first shot in particular looks like something from Middle Earth.

Sheep! Cute.

Interesting to see a sheep drinking, unless it was nibbling on that plant in the water ...

Maa-aa-aaaa

I have discovered there are dedicated sheep blogs, and they're now following me! They're going to be so disappointed when I run out of sheep and go back to ducks.

My travelling friend and I spent most of our walking time making incoherent noises about hobbits - especially along the first day's path, where the top photo was taken.

Thank you!

Sheep are so pretty! My travelling buddy has farmers in her family, she was less fascinated by sheep than I.

thank you!

They were taking turns to drink. Which is... pretty common for sheep, as far as I know? I mean, they have to hydrate somehow!

Lovely sheep, but also, that landscape in the third one! Rocks!! (I'd want to climb on them, but my legs would have to be a lot younger) /holidays decades ago

Such good rocks! I have geologist friends, I'm learning to care about rocks. Can't identify them yet but I always look them up (these ones were limestone).
