Today’s PaD is dedicated to two English PaDers: John (near York) and Penny (near Oxford). I always admire their great shots of rural England, so I have to reply with this scene of a herd being brought down off the hill by Mossy a border collie.
We were at the Walter Peak Station near Queenstown after taking the nearly century old steamship the TSS Earnslaw across Lake Wakatipu. The demonstration of dog handling and then sheep shearing at the high country farm was quite fascinating.
A special gull shot dedicated to the my great birder friends Herb and Pepe in San Diego can be found in the *** additional NZ gallery*** along with other sheep shots.
I might mention I only had my 70-300 mm lens with me, and I found it to be too much zoom for the tight quarters. Generally I’ve mostly enjoyed my wide angle lens on this trip.
