Looking all relaxed and ready to go. It will soon be time for the Ram to be let loose with the flock of Herdwick Sheep. Herdwicks are a hardy mountain sheep, still the popular breed of choice in the Lake District. Their thick fleeces give protection from all but the severest weathers. Tough as they are, their faces for me show a softness of character.

This is a lovely portrait, and it’s easy to see the (apparently) gentle smile.

So very beautiful.

Superb portrait! Love Herdwicks – probably my favourite breed of sheep. Remind me of the Yorkshire Dales.
