Move away

As soon as she saw me approach the gate, Mrs 42 came running towards me, baaaaaing loudly.
Maybe she was just feeling protective about her newborn, maybe she doesn't like photographers, or maybe she knew I had lamb chops in the fridge, ready to put under the grill once I'd got another last minute PAD.

I like the spatiality in this one. Mrs 42 not quite in centre and well to the foreground. The horned one further back, and the lamb beyond that forming a line leading into the frame, and of course the fence in the background doing the same. Naturally the expression is priceless (not just mum but also the hiding lamb), but the composition is worthy of note too.

Its the guy with the horns that would worry me. Although isn't there a Kipling poem about the 'female of the species'.

Love it - especially the lamb chop part :-)

I love it! What a wonderful, humorous capture!

Exquisite family portrait, V

Maybe she just wanted to tell you not to capture her blue side! What a funny expression!

So that's what sheeps tongue looks like. I've only seen them in tins :-) Lovely capture!

Nice caption to go along with your image!

We had some of her cousins running down our road today disrupting all the traffic.. great shot - Madam certainly isn't happy!

Thaaaaat's Ms "Big" 42 to you. "Little" 42 is still camera shy.

She knows about the lamb chops. Great timing to get her baaing at you. V.

With those numbers on them they look pre-destined for the fridge! No wonder she is protesting. It's a wonder they aren't out there with signs and banners!! Nice work!!

She looks indomitable. V

There in a funny mood this time of year, I had one approach me and sniff my hand today, bizzare

Mrs Crankypants is a mess of hormones it seems :0) ( Stephanie...medium, with mint jelly!! )

Fab picture! Not only heads-up, but also looking your way and talking. I'm guessing that she is saying 'eat me'... maybe not.

Colin Storey		10-Mar-2012 20:52
Very nice shot of this new mum.

Stephanie		10-Mar-2012 20:44
How can you eat one of these beautiful babies? lol! Super capture Mairead! :)

Phillip Normanton		10-Mar-2012 20:37
She was just saying hello - probably wanted you to take a pic of her pride-and-joy :o)

She was afraid of ending up as a lamb chop!! v
