I do so enjoy going out to take pictures at sunset, although often I'll only go out every couple of weeks or so. But on this occasion I went out two times in a week because I was a sheep photographer on a mission. I've grouped the photos together because I think they're a similar bunch. The light was gorgeous on both evenings.
Even the walk to the field was pretty.
Tilly is always one of the first to greet me - she's just endlessly friendly.
Caldwell's horns are growing nicely, and I'm pleased that they're growing in such a way that they might even curl properly, rather than growing too close to his head and having to be cut off.
Rosie.
Connie and the lambs. She was in a very playful mood on this evening and bounced around like a baby lamb!
Audrey and Nigel, who's too busy to look up at me.
Connie bounced right up to me for a close-up.
Dotty.
Nigel, busy eating.
Nina.
Lovely Minnie.
Minnie and a trio of the lovely ladies (Dotty, Lady and Blossom).
As much as I liked the pictures I got, I didn't get what I was after. I wanted a nice sunset picture of Nigel with his new, more grown-up, darker markings. Out I went a few days later to try again.
Tilly greeted me with a silly face!
Minnie coming over.
Iris.
Connie, not quite as bouncy this time.
Nigel coming over to see me.
Success! Nigel came over and posed for a good minute, looking in a few different directions and generally being himself.
I got my Nigel photos but the light was still gorgeous so I stayed out to see what else I could get. Blossom coming over.
Titch and Margot (with their ears tangled up).
Nigel again - he was in a real posing mood on this evening.
Minnie.
Lady and some more ladies (Minnie, Nina, Blossom and Dotty).
Lady.
Minnie is comically stocky, bless her.
Blossom was having a lie down to chew her cud so I went over to see her.
And finally Nigel again, because why not? You can never see too much of Nigel in one post.
