a stinky ox 🐂

The snow has highlighted the sheep paths.

The light snowfall in the bottom field has emphasised the paths that the sheep make when moving from place to place. They have definite thoroughfares, and all the animals, not just the sheep, usually adhere to them. Here we see two paths merging into one and heading off towards thee treeline of the bottom field. The paths look whiter than the surrounding green-white of the mildly snowed field. Hoofprints are visible going down the paths. Over at the left of frame halfway down - what's that? Looks like wool to me! It's the boys, all in a cluster, and I think I've been spotted!

Sometimes a more direct route means the paths are ignored.

The urgent acquisition of biscuits is occasion for overriding the path rules, as demonstrated here by Panda, who comes gallumphing over by the most direct vector in order to achieve insertion in the shortest possible time. He is followed by Brambles and Skippy. Insertion was followed by a fair bit of shoving one another around and making of ram noises. Boys will be boys!

I used to live on a remote Scottish island with not a lot except for heather and bog-cotton and would walk for miles along sheep paths. Something magical about them.
