How fun! I'm sure a long wait is ahead for those wanting to pass! The only things I ever have to wait for crossing the road on Cape Cod are the occasional family of ducks, skunks, or a turtle!
Now that is a photo I like. It is like it used to be over here. Not anymore as farmers sold out or moved or stopped owning animals like these. So nothing is on the farms.
I see sheep daily as I travel our roads here, but of course they are kept on farms with fences....not free to wander in the roads. I thought to myself this morning that I would like to stop and get a shot of one. No where to stop....but I think at some point I will park somewhere and just walk for a bit so I can get a shot.
Occasionally my husbands goats get out but usually only one at the time...never seen them all out on the road at one time. All he has to do is get a bucket and they will follow him right back through the gate.
I used to find that sheep aren't so bad to bad to drive through as they scatter nimbly - Highland cattle are somewhat more difficult. One I encountered on a single-track road took half an hour to be persuaded to move.
I love this. I have decided that this is my favorite for the Photo Hunt. I wish I were home enough to keep sheep here. Although: My neighbors used to have a couple escape-artist sheep. They were always in the road wandering around and the drivers would stop and help put them back in the pasture. The sheep have since moved to a different farm.

ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I've seen a herd of anything in the road like that. They are beautiful and the scenery behind them is also.

Great photo - I've never seen that many animals crossing the road! Only a few here and there.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, how long did it take them to move on?
Those sheep are big, i love sheep, i used to raise the lambs that were born when the momma died from giving birth, my uncle raised sheep.
