Ram

I am not afraid of sheep, but this one looked ready to charge if I approached. As you can see, there was a fence between us, but it was low and not sturdy, so I am sure the ram could leap over with just a step or two running start.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

He gives you a defensive pose with those eye-catching horns curling toward you! Great capture.

You do not want to mess with a bull or buck or a ram of any kind. Nature is fierce! Good thinking to stay back, but great portrait of this guy.

I would certainly not provoke it... no, no and no.

SUPER specimen!

And with those horns pointed straight forward, being as careful as possible is still not enough.
And with those large testicles, it's clear he's a dominant ram.

A very well-executed portrait.
