Happy sheep in Ireland

Ireland must be a paradise for sheep. They look so happy and relaxed, spending their time in eating, sleeping and watching the grass grow around them.
In Ireland I've seen the most amazing sheep , all painted in colors, looking weird; this group reminded me of a punk rock group, posing for their new album:
punks

This second group was having fun at Innishbofin island, they were incredibly nice, friendly and helpful; I felt like a working dog, driving them here and there!
Ireland is ...

I admit I have a crush on them. I love these creatures:
watching the grass grow can be a very stressful job sometimes...

And to contrast, here are pure Spanish sheep, at Don Quixote style:
La Mancha: ovejas y molinos.
They look so different. However all of them make great posing subject, don't you think so?

Sweet Shot Day

  9. Aw, so cute. I love the second picture best of all. Looks like you are having a great time.
    I spent a year in Ireland as an exchange student when I was seventeen. It's been 10 years and I am still occasionally homesick for Ireland and its people and language. So I'm totally jealous that you got to go there on holiday :)
