Coiff competition??? Way to cute Michelle and I live in sheep country. #9620314Bonnie C. Lackey August 22, 2011
The first time I saw sheep in their coats I was astonished. They seem to take it in stride. I do like the b&w as it sets off the rings around the eyes. Neat! #9620781John Connolly August 22, 2011
They look like they have just arrived from outer space, Michelle! They look very contented in their strange garb! #9620972Ann Coates August 22, 2011

Just got back from a visit to the state fair with my grandkids. I came back with several shots of simarly clad sheep, none of which looks nearly as good in color as your b-w conversion. I'll have to revisit them in monochrome. Thanks for the inspiration. #9651644Heather Loewenhardt September 07, 2011
