In the distance are the sheep in the field. One of my fond memories in driving around in England is the sheep in the fields, especially up north. You can see them from so far away that they look like little white dots in the fields. I told my husband if we ever get a pet sheep, we'll name her Dot. lol We've had some great sheep shots on the site. Post some of your favorites.

It's like a metaphor for the lost sheep waiting for the Good Shepherd. I love it! Ruth,the one of the ram in the gate made me think of ancient Jerusalem and the Temple.
