Ladies in waiting
Young rams up on the wolds
Trotted up to the top of the Lincolnshire Wolds today only to find that the ladies in waiting were not overly obliging when faced with my camera. Understandably, the ewes may be feeling a tad fed up as it’s almost lambing time for them. The young rams, however, were not camera shy at all …

They look totally ready and waiting. Ewe took some great photos (sorry, couldn’t resist). 🙂

Thanks Miriam. Great light today – clear and bright. The poor things are so ready. I always feel sorry for them this time of year, and even more so when the lambs arrive and they are feeding – it must be exhausting for the ones that have twins. Will post some shots of those when they are born.

Lovely photos and the area looks very picturesque. What does the term “wolds” mean? I’m not familiar with it here in the U.S.

Wolds is a name for a range of hills; the Lincolnshire Wolds is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty here in the UK. Our wolds are the only hilly part of an otherwise flat county. Thank you for the kind remarks.

Love the Ladies in Waiting – that tree in the background highlighted against the sky is beautiful. I’ve always found sheep to be contrary 🙂

They are, although I’ve found cows to be even more contrary. Every spring we have them clodhopping across our lawns when they break through fencing in the fields. Cows prove difficult to herd back to the fields, and will try any way to escape just so they can graze on fresh green grass.

Ah, well I used to have milking cows, so i am partial to a cow on a cold winters morning once they were in the shed, but chasing them to get them there is a whole “nother story.

I do love those black faced sheep. We don’t really have them in Australia, they can’t handle the conditions. They sure are cute, though.

Most of the sheep we see around here are black-faced. There are some ancient and rare breeds too. The Lincoln Longwools are beautiful – look like Bob Marley with dreadlocks over their eyes! Thanks for commenting.
