Misc Geraldine, the Guard Sheep

Geraldine, the Guard Sheep · 01:28 PM

Meet Geraldine the guard sheep of our small village. Look how fearless see looks into my camera-lens in photo nr. 1! Here gaze makes border collies and other sheep related dogs instantly choose a different career like shepherding butterflies or wildebeest. People and especially canikon photographers who dare to infiltrate my village from the outskirts encounter this grass eating and flesh tearing monster! Most people go to great lengths to avoid our village! (See picture 2) And when you look into here eyes you see the world in a very, very different light (photo 3)...

Greetings from a very scared and traumatized forum member...

1. Geraldine the Guard Sheep

2. Scared people avoiding my village...

3. A different light

In the absence of Rupert and Otis this is my attempt of some lighthearted humor. I'm not a native English speaker so I hope this did the trick!

Three very cool shots. Geraldine looks like a tough cookie, indeed.

Remco, I recently got the same look from an encounter with a Black Angus cow in a nearby field and it is scary. You went to the extra effort to document Geraldine and her effect she has upon visitors and even your village. Sleep well my friend and try not to count sheep in your dreams.

Bob, I hope you recovered well from you own encounter with one of own village defenders. I have tried to substitute sheepcounting with counting parrots but they have the nasty habbit of repeating everything I say so that doesn't work.

What's next? Isn't one Geraldine enough? And if you have a better substitute for sheep counting I'll gladly give it a try!

In the famous novel, Bored of the Rings, I believe the Riders of Roi-Tan rode sheep that emitted a massive war-bleet. You can't underestimate them.

I had to consult wikipedia for that!

But on a (bit) more serious note. Frisian sheep like Geraldine known to be able to emit sound from both ends of their body...

And when those sounds combine. Oh boy....
