Grazing, not gazing

Taken in the afternoon sun, this is a colour picture - it could be mistaken for a toned monochrome.

Colmar, I wish you a great new year, excellent health and lots of photo's on 1X

Sheep they are - South Africa also is a "normal place" - your comment brought a smile to my face!

Thanks for the New Years wishes and of course from my side, the same to you.

Great one Colmar. Eating is serious business obviously. Sheep with corduroy jackets? What a strange place SA is ;-)

Hi Colmar,
This makes me think fondly of a vast farm in South-Africa... freshly-shorn, eating from stubble - they could have been Dorpers!
O, and the picture of it all - your usual excellence.
May 2010 bring more opportunities to enjoy this hobby you clearly love.
Warmest regards,
Johan Meintjes.

Colmar Wocke Johan,

Smiles here - thanks for your continued support for this hobby of mine. Hope we can go out together often in 2010, to see what we can "catch" with our eyes and lenses!

Go well.

I find the vegetative dimension both formally interesting and funny. You have used the canvas in a intelligent way. The motive is a little bit boring, but if you give the picture a few seconds of meditation you get in touch with a mood where it´s possible to identify with the wildlife. This is what it is all about for the animals. Eat, eat, eat.

Colmar Wocke Lars,

Thanks for writing your thoughts - helps me to "re-appreciate" the picture.

I wish you well for your "picture-taking" year next year!

Colmar Wocke Phyllis,

The'd just been shorn for their wool - that's the cause of the "velvetness".
