A quick short cut through to the waterfront seemed like a great idea at the time? It still was actually, but the pathway extended straight through a sheep pasture? Now we are talking up close and personal. Not only could we almost touch them.....if they hadn't scurried away from us, but we most definitely stepped in 'sheep poop.' Which there was a lot of. But I don't care.
This is one of the first sheep we saw. If you look closely, she is talking.
Me: "What's that you say?"
Sheep: Baaaaaaaaaa
Translation: "Get out of our pasture!"
Well, that's not going to happen. I love these guys. Especially when they stare and chew at the same time. Looking totally unimpressed by us.
Second sheep I see....right on our path? Hmmmm. Not sure if she is the 'guard sheep?'
I think I could take her if I had to?
"Quit chasing the sheep Debbie?"
Another talking sheep.
Translation: "And take your friend with you too."
Me with my happy face. Surrounded by white puffs of wool just itching to be knit!
Is that messed up???? Yes and I am probably standing in sheep poop????
Incredible scenery engulfing us where we are standing. Mountains and rivers. This is one beautiful town. Many people come here just to climb the mountains. Not only hikers but serious rock climbers.
A different coloured sheep...really pretty up closer. This little girl was watching Debbie moving quietly and gently towards them for a photo and then.......guess what happened next?
"Debbie....what did you say to them?"
And there they go. Camera shy no doubt.
"You take the sneaky one and I'll take the one with the huge silly smile on her face."
The weather this day was off and on rain. But then the mist was moving in and the temperature changed pretty quick. We could see that something was happening. That is when it began to hail.....hurtful, big hail stones coming down on us as we were still in the pasture. Not good.
Hail stones on the grass. Hmmmm. We had better start heading to the bus.
But what a great 'sheep' adventure.
