Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 12 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
This is my husband (normally a city school teacher) helping my sister move sheep out in the country we nearly had to prise him off the four wheel motorbike he was riding as he enjoyed it so much
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

This is the best about blogging, to see different environments and understand, that people are feeling same feelings all over the world inside themselves.
Joyful Sunday to you and your family, Debbie!

The sheep don´t seem very bothered by him.Maybe he should have had a sheep dog on the quad with him !!
