Nice set once more !
What a awesome sheep ! I have never seen this one before ... British one ?

And... I love the brown eyed dragon ;)

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Kathrin; and a good weekend to you too.

Pescalune, thank you. The sheep is native to the Isle of Man, but a small group of them are at RSPB reserve at Sandy, where I took these.
Glad you like the brown eyed dragon :)

Very nice selection Keith, especially the Bush Cricket, you got him really. And the Manx Loghtan Sheep, they must have been from the Isle of Man.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Bob. Yea, the RSPB got them special from there. They do a good job of keeping the grass down.

OH what super shots...IM Loving that Sheep, the photos has a 3D look--I hope you have a great Weekend!!!

Roy said...

Super images Keith and a great theme running through them.

Dominic Gendron said...

Nice images, the Great tit seems a little weird ;) The Bush Cricket is very nicely photographied!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Dixxe. I wasn't sure how the sheep would turn out; there were a lot of overhanging branches from a tree, down to the ground.

Roy, thank you for your comment :)

Thanks Dominic. Not sure if the Great Tit was just moult, or some sort of parasite causing feather loss.

Hi Keith, we have one that visits our garden, a bald headed Great Tit, poor things, I think it is the stress of bringing up a dozen kids that has caused them to go bald:-) I have no doubt if we had a dozen babies to bring up all at once, we would go bald:-)

Luzia said...

The great tit is so funny! And al the other pics are wonderful - a poetic piece of nature - seen by your eyes. Thank you for this magic moments! Enjoy your new week and a big hug from Luzia.
