Say one for me...

I think this sheep was praying. :-))
Out on a sunday drive to Puhoi, North of Auckland,
I came across this sheep eating like this,
then he walked on his knees for some more grass.
Note the little lamb in the background he too was on his knees.
Looks funny.

So this is my NATURE photo for today.

Is there really 45 million sheep? Hopefully he is okay but it does look like he is praying!

Most likely has Foot Scald and should be treated..perhaps it's praying the farmer will notice

Fun capture, lovely details in the fleece. Our neighbour's sheep do this too - I always think it's so funny.

The shorter the grass the lower the kneeling!!

Sheila		13-Nov-2011 05:58
LOL. Sheep whisperer. The ewe is a lazybones.

They know that they should pray for God to bless their food. :)

Guess the kneeling must compensate for short necks :0) love the shot. - Racine

Isn't that interesting! Definitely gives the appearance of prayer.
