The world is made up of so many beautiful and amazing creatures. That said, you'd never expect, as a city girl anyway, to find so much diversity at a popular, smallish village's annual agricultural show. Hard to believe, but up in NE Scotlandia today, it was in the mid 80s (Fahrenheit) and people were sweating, getting sun burns and generally grateful for this out of character, but totally welcome, properly summery, summer.
We went to the New Deer Show. This is an annual event based on agricultural demonstrations and the showing of one's best of the bunch in hopes for ribbons and other status increasing honors. For an animal lover, it's just a fun day out. With a camera, it's more fun.
This here photo is of a rare breed lamb, known as Jacob. Jacobs are noticeable for their black and white coloring and their often found double and even triple sets of horns. I enjoyed meeting all the different rare sheep breeds. As usual, I found one that wanted a bit of affection and spent the better part of 15 minutes scratching his nose. *smiles*
